Hello everyone,
We are all really excited to have so many active students again this year!
I guess everyone has read our instructions and the GSoC timeline
http://wiki.dbpedia.org/gsoc2017
https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline
please read it again :)
make sure you understand everything and don't be afraid to ask for
clarifications
The application period starts in 10 days (March 20th) but it will make it
easier for you (and your mentors) to start preparing your
application sooner rather than later.
Please use the ideas site to ask questions to make sure you understood
everything.
The warm up tasks are meant to get you hand-on with the project and see if
it something you actually like
Both questions and the warm up tasks are only meant to help write a perfect
application and impress us.
This is your final goal and this is what we will evaluate in the end so
please do not forget that!
Also, keep in mind that all mentors have a full-time job and do the
mentoring on their free time.
The sooner you send them a draft of your application, the more time you
give them to provide you feedback for improvements and the more time you
have to incorporate their feedback back in your proposal.
Good luck everyone and looking forward to reading your awesome applications
Dimitris, on behalf of the DBpedia GSoC Admin team
