GSoC 2017 org applications open ( sourcing interest and ideas)

[Corey W Sheldon]

As some of you may know, every year Google hosts the Google Summer of
Code (GSoC), last year we participated with some decent results for a
few projects.  I was just sending this heads up to those whom may be
interested in partaking as a mentor or student (even if you are already
a fedora contributor) for a project within Fedora.

Basic requirements for students and ideas are below and find the full
lowdown at [0].


What are the eligibility requirements for participation?

* You must be at least 18 years of age
* You must currently be a full or part-time student (or have been
accepted for the fall term) at an accredited university as of the
student acceptance date
* You must be eligible to work in the country you will reside in during
the program
* You have not already been accepted as a Student in GSoC more than once
* You must reside in a country that is not currently embargoed by the
United States. See Program Rules for more information.



Prospective students: read the Student Manual [1]

Prospective Mentors: read the Mentors Manual [2]

Good evening - 

Does Fedora have a page for Summer coding ideas for 2017?  There's one for
2016, though many of these may not be valid for this year.  

Thanks
Bryan

Hi Bryan,

the answer to that would be not *yet* due to devconf, fosdem and all the
things. Be patient please, we are working on it =)

And which project would you like to mentor?

[Radka Janekova]

Hi again,

please guys, be patient and wait for our information. It will be visible
and you should not miss it. The process goes as follows:
1. First we have to draft our org application (in process now)
2. Then we draft guidelines for mentors and ideas.
3. Only then we can call for ideas (and mentors)
4. At the end of March students will start applying - more info about the
timeline: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline

Well, I would argue that we should start discussing ideas as early as possible
and since that person declare a will to be a mentor on the infrastructure list,
I would be very interested to know which project that person wishes to mentor,
so that the infrastructure team can provide feedback as early as possible on the
project.

While nothing is set in stone, I don't think we should prevent early engagements
of the mentors and/or students around GSoC.

Radka, 

In agreement with Pierre, I respectfully decline to remove it from the
lists on two accounts: 

1) as Pierre stated, its NEVER too early to source talented mentors /
ideas 

2) GSoC is supposed to be a org wide thing, and spreading info far and
wide within the project IS exactly what we should be doing, it prevents
a lack of interest AND the always inevitable ' Can I get a deadline
waiver, I only found out yesterday ( when the deadline was last
wednesday) '

I am sure that the mentors are the upstream contributors to those
projects, and also work with the infra team to make sure that we can
actually maintain the services in future.
It will be surprising if it is not the case.

1) As much as I appreciate that, the deadline is not "yesterday" yet, and
we are on top of it. I agree that it is org-wide, however it doesn't mean
that we should all now stand on our heads and flip tables. Wait for the
appropriate entity (Bex & CommOps) to take care of the organization of
things - and here I am not telling you to not think about ideas and what to
mentor, I am specifically referring to the above asked question "Does
Fedora have a page for Summer coding ideas for 2017?" and similar
questions, to which there is but a single answer - Not yet, working on it.

I should also say on that topic, that I would much rather see a single well
formed *announcement* once we have everything ready, rather than chaotic
emails in random mailing lists.

But this thread is not a follow-up of that particular question which you indeed
answered quickly and properly.

This thread is a follow-up on an email that has been sent to the infrastructure
list where someone volunteered to mentor a student and me just wanting to know
what this person is volunteering to mentor. I mean this is GSoC and I guess
we're still in the planning phase trying to gather subjects, right?
So if that person wishes to be a mentor, I guess they have a specific subject in
mind, no?
Well that was the source of my inquiry.

And these last two are two people from infra.
Also, you may want to check your archive as this thread has only been occurring
on the infrastructure list, nowhere else (even if it was originally started
across multiple lists, I agree).

I guess this will be my last email on this topic but I'm quite confused.
What would this announcement be about? That Fedora wishes to participate to
GSoC? That we're looking for projects and mentors ? (Wasn't that exactly what
the original email of this thread was about?)
If I read the timeline correctly the deadline for organization to apply is in 3
days, which means that in 3 days we will need to have a list of projects to
propose to Google for review so that they can check and see if they are
interested and willing to invest in them.

As a community, I do think each and every sub-project should be thinking on
whether they are interested in having GSoC student this year, so there should be
a lot of chaotic emails on all sort of random mailing lists, so that people can
then come back to you and bex who are apparently willing to organize GSoC this
year, with proposals and mentors for them.

With a deadline in 3 days, I do not know how you are planning on coming up with
a list of proposals without having asked the different part of the Fedora
community for proposals and ideas, but I guess I will see this when the
announcement comes in :)

Hi Pierre,

>  This thread is a follow-up on an email that has been sent to the
infrastructure list where someone volunteered to mentor a student and me
just wanting to know what this person is volunteering to mentor.

Nope, that's different thread.
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[e-mail]...

>  What would this announcement be about? 
About "Info here, go here, write down stuff here." - relevant info for
mentors and ideas. I don't think that someone can forcefully come up with
an idea, if they want to participate a simple reminder "go write down your
idea" is enough, they already carry that idea.

And my whole point (extremely misunderstood and met with a lot of hate) was
that there is no point in sending this all to... Kernels? Join sig? Etc. If
anything devel would be a better place.

I was referring to this email:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[e-mail]...
which was sent as a reply to Corey's email.

misunderstood clearly but hate I would assure there are none on my part. I would
even be curious to know what made you think so, so that I can, in the future,
avoid giving that impression again.
This entire discussion has (on my side) merely been trying to understand your
emails with the limited info that I have.

>     was that there is no point in sending this all to... Kernels? Join
> sig?
>     Etc. If anything devel would be a better place. 
I can't reply for Corey who wrote the original email but I would guess he tried
to give an heads-up to people who contributed to GSoC last year, try to see if
they are thinking about GSoC already.
To give an example, if it hadn't been for Corey I would have had no idea that
the dead-line for GSoC subject proposals was that close, GSoC is a summer
program in my head and we're at the beginning of February so it was really not
in my calendar as something to think about right now.

Devel is not necessarily the best place for these types of discussion because
not everyone is subscribed or follows carefuly the list and also because devel
talks about a lot of subjects that would not (imho) result is GSoC subjects.
devel-announce would be a better place imho as it's lower traffic and thus
likely raises more attention (and hopefully reaches more of our sub-projects).

Hoping this clarifies a little bit the situation,
Pierre

[Radka Janekova]

Hey Pierre,

I meant more of a reminder rather than discussion being sent to devel (or
devel-announce, as you said..) if we are trying to catch more people.

And yeah the deadline has really bad timing with devconf and fosdem... >_<
If anyone wants to help reviewing the wiki pages for what's possibly
invalid, you're welcome to, but please lets move the organization related
conversation into summer-coding mailing list maybe...


Best regards,
Radka

[commops] GSoC 2017 org applications open ( sourcing interest and ideas)

[Brian Exelbierd]

-All the original lists, now in BCC - with a new list in To.

Note: My webmail client is terrible and won't let me directly fix the
reply-to, so please mind it and lets move this traffic to the GSoC list.

I am replying to this everyone on the original thread as we need to work
together to make this deadline.

I have started an etherpad with the requirements for the Organizational
Application (due on Feb 9 - 2 days!):

http://etherpad.osuosl.org/TFx0SpB4S6

Please add anything you have and suggest text! It is easier to edit than
create, so even if you aren't confident, toss some ideas on the pad. 
English grammar and editing is easy - coming up with new text is not!

We also need to iterate ideas.  Radka has has been working on the
updated wiki pages and you will find them at:

Main page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GSOC_2017
Student application:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GSOC_2017/Student_Application_Process
Ideas: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_ideas_for_2017

Please add your project ideas and additional edits there.

You may find some source material in the wiki and here:

Corey Sheldon - thank you for kicking off this thread.

I think we can still make this deadline with our powerful community
effect.

Thinking forward to 2018, I intend to make this process easier by
committing our final answers to something durable, like a pagure repo so
they don't get lost.  This will help us not have to recreate all the
data next year.  I have also added a calendar reminder for myself to
remember to start the application earlier and to start us on project
generation earlier.  This snuck up on me this year.  I firmly believe
that things only get to do that once :).

regards,

bex
