<div>Karsten,</div> <div> </div> <div>I will gladly be a mentor as well. I participated in the Google Summer of Code last year.

We are honored to have this distinction.<br>Google has scaled the program back in resources and budget in light of<br> the global economy; there is less to go around. I am confident<br>Fedora's record in GSoC helped us to be selected again.<br><br>There are two ways I am asking for your help:<br><br>1. The timeline is short for students to propose projects. (The<br> application period opens 23 March, application deadline is 03<br> April.) We need your help finding students and ... most<br> importantly ... identifying passionate students who understand the<br> commitment they are making.<br> <br> The Summer of Code is a *full time job*, a minimum of 40 hours a<br> week for a few months of the Summer term.<br><br> The project is real work on real open source.<br><br>2. Do you have ideas you want to mentor a student to work on? You do<br> not have to be a coder to mentor a student. You need to get the<br> student connected to the right resources.<br><br> For example, I am not a programmer and I mentored Dimitris Glezos<br> two years ago for GSoC when he developed the first version of<br> Transifex and <a href="https://translate.fedoraproject.org/" target="_blank">https://translate.fedoraproject.org</a>. Last year<br> Dimitris mentored another student to work on additions to<br> Transifex. (This year Dimitris formed a company around<br> Transifex, <a href="http://indifex.com/" target="_blank">http://indifex.com</a>.)<br><br> Now, I was fortunate -- Dimitris was an easy student to mentor,<br> partially because he was already involved in the Fedora community.<br> Perhaps your student could already be a Fedora participant or<br> contributor?<br><br>To help with #1, point students at:<br><br><a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/redhat" target="_blank">http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/redhat</a><br> <br>To help with #2, start with this page -- use the mentor request form:<br><br><a href="http://groups.google.com/group/redhat-summer-mentors" target="_blank">http://groups.google.com/group/redhat-summer-mentors</a><br><br> If you have ideas, put them on this page as soon as possible:<br><br><a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_2009" target="_blank">https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_2009</a><br><br>... and join us on the Google group 'redhat-summer-mentors' to discuss<br> how you can participate.<br><br>Thanks - Karsten<br><font color="#888888">--<br>Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener<br><a href="http://quaid.fedorapeople.org/" target="_blank">http://quaid.fedorapeople.org</a><br> AD0E0C41<br></font><br></div></div>--<br>Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Fedora-ambassadors-list@redhat.com" target="_blank">Fedora-ambassadors-list@redhat.com</a><br><a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list</a><br> <br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>M'BAREK Med Nihed,<br>Analyst Revenue Assurance Tunisie Telecom<br><a href="http://www.nihed.com/" target="_blank">http://www.nihed.com</a><br>Fedora Ambassador, TUNISIA, Northern Africa<br> PUB 1024D/9E2FFB76 Date 2009/02/14 <br></div><br>--<br>Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Fedora-ambassadors-list@redhat.com">Fedora-ambassadors-list@redhat.com</a><br><a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list</a><br> <br></blockquote></div><br>
