This page is for organizing our participation at the Google Summer of Code 2012.
Quoting http://www.booki.cc/gsoc-mentoring/_v/1.0/what-is-gsoc/:
Mentors are people from the community who volunteer to work with a student. Mentors provide guidance such as pointers to useful documentation, code reviews, etc. In addition to providing students with feedback and pointers, a mentor acts as an ambassador to help student contributors integrate into their project's community. Some organizations choose to assign more than one mentor to each of their students. Many members of the community provide guidance to their project's GSoC students without mentoring in an “official” capacity, much as they would answer anyone's questions on the project's mailing list or IRC channel.
The Summer of Code Mentoring HOWTO of a GNOME developer and the official GSoC Mentoring guide are really useful resources about what you can expect and what mentors should (and should not) do.
Mentors should
Feel free to add yourself as mentor also for ideas where a mentor is already listed. Then we can balance the load of the different mentors when it is decided which ideas will actually be implemented so not one mentor has 5 students and another mentor has not a single student. There can also be more than one mentor per student.
If you don't like being mentor for any existing idea and don't have own ideas you can still be mentor for new ideas students submit. Just join the discussion on the mailinglist and contact Michael Hamann after the student application period so you can be added as mentor in the GSOC system and review applications.
After the application period we will have to review and rank all applications in the GSOC system. There we need to assign the final mentors for each task.
