Re: [Sugar-devel] Semester of Code
+1 for a GSoC mentors meetings. But 7PM EDT is definitively not the best time for my time zone (1AM !). Best regards from France.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Semester of Code
Can we organize a meeting with mentors to do a evaluation of GSoC? Would be good request to the students sent a email with the pros/cons about their experience. We can learn and improve for the next time.

Absolutely agree on the student-mentor ratio, I really noticed the difference in comparison to the previous year (where I had 2 projects).
