Dear all, Carol from Google has already given positive feedback about getting GSoC students of graphics projects to LGM. Google could fund up to 500 USD per student. At the moment we are still discussing how many students Google could fund. Funding for mentors is unfortunately not possible.
In order to get a better picture how many students would actually come to LGM, I have created a Google form. Please ask your students to sign up. http://goo.gl/NgKei4 Regarding payment, during GSoC there were different options to get the funding from Google for event travel: a) Google could send it directly to the students GSoC credit card and b) Google send it to an organization, that distributes the funding. Generally, my experience is, that they prefer to get one invoice for all to keep the overhead small. For the invoice part, I will take responsibility. I ask every student to submit all invoices and account data to me within two months after LGM. I will then transfer the funding within 30days (or earlier) after I have received the invoice or within 30days (or earlier) after I have received the funding from Google (whatever is faster). I hope that clears up all questions regarding GSoC for the moment. All the best, Mario _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
