Google Summer of Code 2016 - Many new applications

Google Summer of Code 2016 - Many new applications

[Till Kamppeter]

Hi,

tomorrow the student application period will end. Up to now we got 22 
applications, where many lokk interesting and some really strange.

Most are for the kernel, many for LSB, and I had also some luck getting 
3 for OpenPrinting.

Please everyone of you, have a look whether there are proposals which 
you like to mentor, click the "WANT TO MENTOR" button on appropriate 
ones, and remeber the students to complete their applications if they 
are still marked "incomplete" (they must submit a final PDF). Only 
complete applications can get accepted and they do not auto-complete at 
the deadline.

So please remember the students interesting to you to complete their 
applications to do not loose them.

If you got this e-mail but are not registered as mentor but want to see 
the applications, please tell me so that I can invite you as mentor. You 
can read the applications then and step up to mentor a student, but you 
are not required to mentor a student then.

Note that tomorrow is a national holiday in many countries, so please 
send out any reminders, comments, ... today.

I've gone through the submitted "kernel" ones so far.  I've been working
through email with one more student who hopefully will submit their
application before the deadline.

One new proposal just got submitted:
	https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/6320691074826240/

and I'm willing to mentor it, as long as the "final" application matches
up with the draft one.  I didn't see anywhere to "star" an application,
why do some have that mark and others do not?

thanks,

You can click the start in the list of applications or click the "STAR" 
option on the proposal page.

This is to mark if you really want this student/project. Note that it is 
only for our internal use, Google does not see/use the star settings.

I don't see that option on the proposal page, nor can I click on it on
the list.  Maybe that's something that you need admin rights for :)

Ok, then I'm not going to worry about it.

Now that the application process is closed, what's our next step here?
How do we rank/sort/evaluate them?  I don't see the "put a number here"
option like we have had in previous years.

all the others, mark with IGNORE what you for sure do not want to mentor 
and mark with a star what you want to mentor and also click "WANT TO

Sorry, seems that star and ignore can only be set by org admins. So 
please click "WANT TO MENTOR" if appropriate and tell me if you want to

This one:

> And are then all the other kernel-related applications to be ignored?

I just went through them all again and left comments saying that they
were not even a valid proposal, so yes, I don't see anything I can even
consider for the kernel other than the above proposal.

Thank you very much. I have marked it with a star.

Can you look for a co-mentor and ask him for clicking "WANT TO MENTOR" 
on this, too?

Can you give me a list of all the other proposals which you considered 
not worthwhile (and where we do not need to wait for another mentor's 
opinion) so that I can mark them ignored?

Please mark these as "ignored" because they are really not even valid
applications:

	https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/6700817021140992/
	https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/6384381044195328/

	https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/4823798872276992/


That should complete all applications in the "kernel" category.  There
are a bunch of CELF and "QEMU with Rust" applications that I know
nothing about, and there doesn't seem to be a category for.  I'm
assuming someone else is going to review / mentor those.

If there's anything else I need to do here, becides try to find a
co-mentor, please let me know.

These project ideas are from Chris Holcombe and Chris MacNaughton. They

I am grateful if you could enter as co-mentor, especially if there is 
any kernel project now which has only one mentor.

We have got 4 good proposals in LSB category that make sense to mark 
with STAR:
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/4529048004853760/
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/6570505653977088/
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/4921876094648320/
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/4646236401434624/

The first one suggests to make improvements in LSB Navigator.
The second proposal is to analyze if data races reported by static 
analyzer in the kernel are feasible and to suggest fixes for them.
The others are related to making improvements in LDV static analyzer to 
find more bugs in kernel.

We have marked them with "WANT TO MENTOR" flag.

I don't understand, we only have one kernel project with one proposed
mentor (me) right now, are we requiring all projects to have 2 mentors
now?  I've never done it that way in the past...

Generally, a single person can mentor a student, but if something 
unforeseen happens to a mentor, there is a backup. The backup mentor 
actually does not need to mentor as long as there is all OK with the 
primary mentor. He only needs to "WANT TO MENTOR" to later on be able to 
do the evaluations if the primary mentor is not able to do so.
