+1 What I like about our current approach is that it filters out those who are not willing to work with an issue tracker which is a fairly common thing to do as an open source developer. Concensus at the summit seemed to be that it's a good idea to filter out those very early that are not willi

Thank you Ross and Uli for these details. It really helps to understand what it takes and the time commitments are very reasonable and comforting. Hi Uli, Thanks for your efforts last year and volunteering this year. I will try to be pro-active as much as possible, but even if am not, feel free

GSoC 2013 - A better interface for students to select projects

2013-02-15 Thread Luciano Resende
Currently, PMCs have been entering project ideas as JIRAs defects, and students have been browsing a JIRA query that aggregates the ideas from all PMCs. I would like to make things a little more simple for the students to find the project that best match their skiils or the areas of their interest

That's quite accurate and corresponds with my experience in the last two years. I expect to put in a bit more this year as I want to tidy up our websites a bit. Uli On 15.02.2013 15:57, Ross Gardler wrote: > Others are likely reading this and wondering if they have the cycles to be > an admin. S

Thanks for stepping up Ulrich I intend to mentor this year so don't want to Admin. However, as always I will be around should things get out of control. +1 to having an Admin + a mentor at the summit. I'd suggest making the requirement to be active in representing communicating the benefits of th

Chris, thanks for the heads up. Folks, I'd like us to get started with this ASAP. The application period hasn't started yet but we need to get the word out to our projects and have them collect ideas. I've got some cycles and would volunteer as the org admin again. Any others? Also I think we
