Hi list, CouchDB takes part in this Google Summer of Code and we are searching for mentors! What I have heard mentoring takes around 5hrs a week.
Mentor signup requires two steps: mentor signup in Melange and PMC acknowledgement. If you want to mentor a project in this year's SoC you will have to 1. Be an Apache committer. 2. Register with Melange and set up a profile at http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2015. 3. Add your username (formerly known as link_id) to https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/GsocLinkId.txt. This is NOT your email address but your Melange username. You can find it at the top of any page once you are logged in. 4. Request an acknowledgement from the PMC for which you want to mentor projects. Use the below template and do not forget to copy [email protected]. 5. Once a PMC member acknowledges the request to mentor, and only then, go to http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/connection/start/user/google/gsoc2015/apache and send a connection request. ---- to: private@<project>.apache.org cc: [email protected] subject: GSoC 2015 mentor request for <mentor name> <project> PMC, please acknowledge my request to become a mentor for Google Summer of Code 2015 projects for Apache <project>.
