Google Code-In is set to begin in a few weeks and I will be applying for BRL-CAD to participate. Friends at Google made it very clear that they were happy with our participation last year and we should definitely apply again. So who would like to be a mentor?
For those that did not mentor last year, what mentoring means is spending about two months helping very young new contributors work on very small BRL-CAD tasks -- docs, code, testing, graphics, etc, nearly anything. The requirements are very minimal because these are generally people completely new to open source. If you're interested in helping, you almost certainly can help. Similar to last year, mentors have "office bours" and you become responsible for responding to students during your window of time. More information on this later but for now we just need to gather a list of our interested mentors, put them on our wiki, create about 200+ tasks, and get our application submitted. Cheers! Sean p.s. Mentors aren't compensated, but one mentor will be eligible to go to the 10th anniversary Google mentor summit next year in California. It will be insane. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
