Hello GSoC students and mentors,
Today is the firm pencils down deadline (in about 3 hours). What does
this mean?
First, your success regarding the GSoC project is supposed to be judged
on the work done so far, and you're supposed to send to Google all the
code that you wrote up until this date. (code submission will begin on
August 31)
Second, both students and mentors have to submit the final evaluations
before Friday, 19:00 UTC. Without the evaluations, the project will be
automatically considered failed, so don't forget to submit them on time,
ideally as soon as possible, not right before the deadline.
In general, I feel that all the projects have been successful, and are
good candidates for integration into the platform shortly. So, even if
the GSoC coding period is officially over, don't forget that one of the
main goals of the program is to introduce students to open source
communities on the long term. Thus, I'd be more than happy to see you
continue to be members of the XWiki open source community, hoping that
we made a good impression and made you feel welcome here. A project is
never "done", there's always room for improvements, new features,
maintenance, bug fixing, documentation and so on.
So, congratulations on your work, I hope you liked doing it, and that
you enjoyed the interaction with your mentors and with the XWiki community.
How to get out the code that you wrote?
