LAST CALL for interest in mentoring for GCI this year! We have a few responses, but not yet enough. As most of you know, GCI can be pretty intense and really requires a lot of mentors able to spend a couple minutes a day reviewing task submissions. Fwiw, orgs typically get to send an additional GCI delegate to the mentor summit and this is usually given to one of the most active GCI mentors.
Again, any coding is fair game but it's ideally tasks that don’t require much setup — tasks can be chained, however, to achieve more complex results. For example, we got BRL-CAD ray tracing running in parallel on Windows by defining separate tasks for implementing functions that lock/unlock a semaphore, create/delete a thread, a semaphore unit test, a threading unit test, and an integration test. Tasks do not have to be limited to code and can include things like designing icons, panels, single static web pages, etc. If you are interested, please just send me a quick e-mail or message on Zulip. Ideally before Monday, please. :) Cheers! Sean > On Oct 10, 2019, at 9:39 PM, Christopher Sean Morrison <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Is there interest in participating in GCI this year?
