Folks, [BCC: users@] Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has been accepted has a mentoring organization for the 2013 Google Summer of Code.
If you wish to be a mentor for a student to work on a CloudStack project there are several "administrative" steps that you will need to do: 1-Add your project idea to JIRA, using the label gsoc2013. Then add an entry in the wiki page I started: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Student+Projects 2-register on the code-awa...@apache.org list 3-Follow the email from Ulrich Stark below which tells you to register on the "melange" site run by Google and then inform the PMC (priv...@cloudstack.apache.org) that you want to be a mentor. Note that all in all GSoC is a ~4months program, being a mentor will require a firm commitment to the students who may need mentorship/guidance on a daily basis. -Sebastien Begin forwarded message: > From: Ulrich Stärk <u...@apache.org> > Subject: Google Summer of Code 2013 Mentor Registration > Date: April 9, 2013 10:34:01 AM EDT > To: p...@apache.org > Cc: code-awa...@apache.org > Reply-To: priv...@cloudstack.apache.org > Reply-To: code-awa...@apache.org > > Dear PMCs, > > I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of 177 accepted > organizations for > Google Summer of Code 2013!
