I'm happy to sign it as V.P. Community Development once V.P. Legal greenlights. Also happy to put you into contact with the people at Google driving the program to discuss the terms and ask for a deadline extension. Participation was discussed here a few times already but it never reached a critic

Hi! thanks for the positive feedback. As Mark said -- time is tight so please respond to the following ASAP. I went through the registration process on behalf of ASF and two statements stood out: 1. Google is asking whether we'd be comfortable supplying ~200 small'ish tasks. I think we are

+1 to have a go, we discussed it in Taverna as well, we could give them something to do in the Android app. It would be a bit similar to HelpWanted.apache.org I guess, but with mentoring..? It would have to be quite bite-sized for high school students, but you would probably also be surprised as t

Same here. I would be happy to mentor. I've had good experiences mentoring with CSOC-- this sounds like a fun way to do something similar but less "weighty". --- A. Soroka Apache Jena > On Oct 31, 2016, at 9:43 AM, Bob Paulin wrote: > > This does sound cool! Are there tasks we could Tag for t

This does sound cool! Are there tasks we could Tag for this through the help wanted[1] site? Would be happy to sign up to mentor for this if we decide to do it. Feel free to hit me up off list. - Bob [1] https://helpwanted.apache.org On 10/31/2016 7:51 AM, Shane Curcuru wrote: Sounds aw

Sounds awesome. I just hope enough reliable mentors volunteer with appropriately sized tasks - and an ability to provide feedback. This sounds like it results in lots of little, possibly disconnected newcomers, rather than a small handful of focused college students. But I love the emphasis on n

This is frankly quite boring. Let's jumpstart the Google Winter of Code with ASF extending the Summer of Code. Think cozy snowed in cabins in Google's latest in Washington state while coding away by a warm fire like Torvalds did when he was just bored, snowed in, and Linux was created... Discuss

Hi! a project I mentor got interested in: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/ Has there been any attempts to have ASF as a mentoring organization there? The current list of orgs is pretty eclectic: https://codein.withgoogle.com/archive/2015/organization/ but given that folks l
