admin is much less work than mentoring, I think.

I'll be happy to mentor a good student, but would prefer not to be admin.
I already have a huge load of administrative work daily and would 
appreciate not to have extra.

2021-02-10 Thread Dima Pasechnik 
being an admin is relatively little work.

Perhaps we can indeed skip this year, in particular as the GSoC format got
changed so that the projects are to be considerably shorter,
 stipends  smaller too, high school leavers became eligible, etc.
(so more PR for Goog, less substance,
I think)

 I think Harald's proposal to pass this year and reconsider the next one
 makes sense (sadly).

I am going to take up being the admin for GSoC this year. So I am getting 
the application prepared. I will post a separate thread calling for project 
ideas.

Best,
Travis

 On the other end, it is more important than ever to push/motivate/help 
 students.

 Other Sagemath contributors than the usual could be involved in 
 mentoring activity.
 I think many contributors are not really aware of this program and what 
 it means.
 Furthermore, this year the GSoC period has been shortened (by half) and 
 so it is no longer necessary to be around till end of August.
 This could be an extra motivation to attract new mentors.

 Concerning the admin part, I don't know how heavy it is, what it means 
 exactly, etc.

 Of course, if we are too few ready to help/mentor for GSoC this year we 
 can pass.
