[xwiki-devs] [GSoC] [Poll] Should XWiki apply to GSoC 2016?
Hi devs, Yesterday Google has announced the beginning of the Mentoring Organizations Application period for GSoC 2016 [1]. I want to do a quick poll in asking our committers if there are people amongst us interested in participating to GSoC this year, who are willing to propose some projects and to possibly mentor a student during this summer. I`ve already reset XWiki`s GSoC 2016 page [2] where we would be adding or reviving project proposals, but I need to know if there are mentors available. So please let me know ASAP, since the deadline for the org application is in 10 days (19th of February) and we would need to move quickly. Thanks, Eduard P.S.: Below you have the original announcement mail. ---------- [1] https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/how-it-works/ [2] http://gsoc.xwiki.org Hello everyone,
We are now accepting applications from open source projects interested in participating as mentor organizations for Google Summer of Code 2016.
Visit our new website to apply as an organization today. For helpful tips on what is expected as a mentor organization and as a mentor or org admin for GSoC 2016 read the Mentor Manual.
One person from your Org must act as an Organization Administrator and submit the application for your organization. The organization application process consists of 3 parts:
Application -- answering straightforward questions about why your org would like to mentor students in GSoC
Organization Profile -- details about your organization that will be used to attract students to your organization (short and long descriptions of your org, contact methods, etc.)
There must be at least 2 Organization Administrators per org. The Org Admin who creates the application will need to invite another person to be the 2nd Org Admin and that person will need to accept the invitation in order for this requirement to be met.
Once these 3 sections are completed your application is done (you can see your progression on the site with the % complete visual). You can continue to edit your application until the deadline.
Deadline to submit your Organization Application: Friday, February 19 at 19:00 UTC. Be sure to look at the timeline for more important dates for the program.
We will not accept late applications under any circumstances.
Good luck to all org applicants!
Best, Stephanie Taylor

Since time is ticking, I propose that the people that are interested in mentoring this year already start filling in new/resurrected proposals at http://gsoc.xwiki.org If we get enough proposals by Tuesday, we can try to apply. We need a batch of good proposals and... say... at least a handful of mentors. Let`s get creative! :) Thanks, Eduard On Tue, Feb 9, 2016 at 5:02 PM, Paul Libbrecht <[email protected]> wrote:

Reminder, to be able to add a new project you need to be logged in first on xwiki.org. Also, you have the option of reviving a project that was proposed but not selected in the previous years. To do that, just navigate to the previous years [1], find the proposal you like and know about, go to its proposal page (click it) and press the "Clone to this year" link. Now you can assign yourself as lead for that project and update it's description if needed. ---------- [1] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/#HPreviousGSoCedition...

Right now we have 3 available mentors (Thomas, Paul and myself) and 8 proposed projects (6 by Thomas alone! :) ). More proposals and mentors are welcomed! P.S.: When proposing a project, please try to be as explicit/detailed as possible. It will help both the student reading the proposal and the GSoC org application reviewer :) Thanks, Eduard On Fri, Feb 12, 2016 at 1:45 AM, Eduard Moraru <[email protected]> wrote:
