Current and former GSoC mentors and students should take note of today's
announcement for the 2014 Google Mentor Summit.
If you're ever been involved with BRL-CAD (or one or our community groups) and
you are able to fully cover the travel+lodging expenses yourself, it's simple.
You're welcome to submit a lottery request.
For any other BRL-CAD dev, we'll be using funds to cover the travel+lodging
expenses for at least two additional people (in addition to our two delegates).
Send me a note if you're interested in going under full or partial assistance.
Cheers!
Sean

> Hello Google Summer of Code Enthusiasts-
>
> As we mentioned earlier today, the Google Open Source Programs Office is
> inviting up to 600 former students, mentors, and org admins to join us at a
> three-day unconference in San Jose, California. We hold a similar conference
> annually for our current mentors, but this year we’re also inviting former
> GSoC students and mentors to join the fun and make it a GSoC Reunion!
>
> DETAILS
> When: October 23-26, 2014
> Where: San Jose Marriott and Hilton San Jose, CA, USA
> Why: The opportunity to meet face-to-face with other FOSS community members
> is a valuable experience, as is the time spent discussing ideas in a casual
> forum where everyone's voice can be heard. There will also be surprises, fun
> events, and a chance to visit the Google campus in Mountain View
> Agenda: Visit the Reunion website for more details about the agenda.
>
> How do I attend?: Because we have a limited amount of space available for
> this Reunion and can not invite all 14,000 past participants to attend the
> Reunion, we have set up a lottery system to choose ~220 guests (the other
> ~380 guests are Delegates, mostly mentors, chosen by the GSoC 2014
> participating orgs, more information about Delegates is available in the
> Delegate email that we sent to this list earlier today).* This lottery system
> is for GSoC students, mentors and org administrators that participated in the
> program anytime over the last 10 years who wish to attend the Reunion but are
> not one of their org’s designated Delegates. We will randomly select names
> from the lottery pool that will be named our Lottery Winners. These Lottery
> Winners will then be able to sign up to attend the Reunion at their own cost.
> For more detailed information see the Reunion website.
> * Note: The GSoC 2014 organization administrators will be choosing their 2
> Delegates separately. If you have been told by the org admin that you will be
> a GSoC 2014 Delegate you do not need to sign up for the lottery.
>
> Agenda: Visit the Reunion website for more details about the agenda.
>
> IMPORTANT INFORMATION (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)
> 1. By filling out the form below, you are entering a lottery to attend. You
> are not confirmed to attend the Reunion until you hear back from the Google
> team.
> 2. Attendees who are chosen to attend the Reunion are responsible for paying
> for their own flight, hotel, visa costs, and ground transportation. Google
> will provide most meals and transportation to Reunion-related activities.
> 3. Please register by Monday, June 16 to secure a spot in the lottery.
> 4. Lottery winners will be notified by email on Monday, June 23. For those
> people who signed up for the lottery but do not win the initial lottery on
> June 23rd, they will be automatically added to a waitlist.
> 5. Lottery winners then have until Monday, July 7 to confirm attendance.
> 6. If a lottery winner does not confirm their attendance by the July 7
> deadline, they forfeit their spot and a new lottery winner will be chosen
> from the waitlist.
