Greetings, I have been trying to find someone who can do the Apache mentor program with me (link provided). The mentor only does roughly 1/4 the time of the mentee, the mentee comes prepared to dedicate the time and put the work in and provide progress reports etc.. GSoC is over obviously, but these projects are designed to be started whenever the team is ready.
This would provide a great opportunity to get developers that are interested, and utilize this mentorship program. It will look good on a reference for both parties and can be very rewarding with mentees becoming committers etc.. I am personally very interested in this, and given the nature of the project, it can easily be done on a laptop making the entry barrier low to other students such as myself. https://community.apache.org/mentoringprogramme.html On Sat, Oct 14, 2017 at 11:48 AM, Matt Sicker <boa...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 14 October 2017 at 13:22, Ralph Goers <ralph.go...@dslextreme.com> > wrote: > > > I’ve worked with JavaFX.
