Summer Coding Mailing Lists
by Brian (bex) Exelbierd
I believe that we should modify the definition of our three mailing lists
slightly. What do you think of the proposal below? Barring objections,
I'd like to make these changes on Wednesday May 2, 2018.
regards,
bex
---
# summer-coding(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
This should remain a general discussion area for anyone involved or
interested in the summer coding projects (GSoC, Outreachy, etc.) with open
subscription.
Proposed New Description:
This special interest group is focused on defining and running
student/project interactions. Students are working directly on project
contributions as a part of classwork or as a special internship, such as
Google Summer of Code or Outreachy.
This SIG works with mentors from upstream and cross-stream projects
relating to the Fedora Project, and any project that is an upstream of
these projects.
# summer-coding-discuss(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
This list will remain a closed subscription list. The list will have
subscribed to it all current year mentors and students to facilitate
announcements and conversations.
Proposed New Description:
This list is for mentors, administrators and students to discuss anything
related to the current year's Fedora Summer Coding programs (i.e. Google
Summer of Code, Outreachy).
The Summer Coding SIG has separate discussions that are not about
conducting the current program, at this separate list:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/summer-coding
Subscribe the list if you are invited only.
# summer-coding-mentors(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
This list will be rebooted as the closed list for mentors and
administrators of the current year's programs.
Proposed New Description:
This list is for mentors and administrators of the current year's Fedora
Summer Coding programs (i.e. Google Summer of Code, Outreachy) to discuss
program issues, student proposals, and performance.
The list is private so mentors are free to openly discuss issues that are
best discussed privately. Topics include proposal acceptance/denial,
performance, financial matters, student problems, and mentor problems.

Anyone interested in Testing the wireframes of the Fedora Community App?
by Abhishek Sharma
Hello!
So I have been working on the wireframes for the revamped Fedora Community
App
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fedoraqa.fedora&hl=en>
(as a part of my GSoC proposal) and I am ready to share the V1.
I need some people to volunteer for the wireframe testing. In the process,
you will be asked to do very simple tasks (which will hardly take 2
minutes) on a clickable prototype. I can learn from the insights of testing
to iterate on the design of the application. Basically what's working and
what's not. I believe to design the best UX, we need to pay attention to
what users do.
Please reply to this email if you're interested so that I can invite you
for the testing.
Thanks :-)
Best,
Abhishek

Consideration for potential volunteer/ non-paid internship
by Rakesh Naga chinta
Respected sir/madam,
I am Rakesh Naga Chinta, I was a Google Summer of Code 2017 candidate where
I worked with "The Internet Archive".
I have not applied this year for GSOC 18 as I may not be available for the
whole program as a "full time student". Hence, I thought of applying this
year to your organization as a part time unofficial intern/volunteer where
I can contribute and work on a potential project along with the other
students being in my own personal interest.
I Kindly request for an opportunity, as the time which I have starting now
for a few months and my skillset which I have honed and continue to improve
shall be utilized.
Thank you for your time, please let me know what you think.
I have also enclosed my resume, portfolio, cover letter for skill reference.
Kind regards,
Rakesh Naga Chinta.
