Apache participates as a mentor organization with Google Summer of Code. That has volunteer mentors guide students on a summer open source project. The mentors provide half-term and final reviews and ratings for the students. Doing this for a university program might be possible, but would depend on the details. For example, the ASF has no ability to order or direct volunteer mentors. So putting the ASF under any contractual obligation for this might be a problem. But agreements between individual mentors and the university might be fine. Similar, who vouches for the student's work? The mentor, acting as an individual? Or the ASF? -Rob > Jan > > On 6 November 2012 20:40, Rob Weir <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Tue, Nov 6, 2012 at 11:53 AM, jan iversen <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > Nice page....would it be helpfull if there was a bulleted list of >> examples >> > what the QA do, being QA is a quite wide field... >> > >> >> Added. >> >> -Rob >> >> > Jan. >> > >> > On 6 November 2012 17:44, Donald Whytock <[email protected]> wrote: >> > >> >> Well, first of all you can take off the "(incubating)"...:) >> >> >> >> Other than that... >> >> >> >> - maybe expand SQE...Software Quality Engineer? >> >> >> >> - has [email protected] been migrated yet? >> >> >> >> Don >> >> >> >> On Tue, Nov 6, 2012 at 11:32 AM, Rob Weir <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> > >> >> >> https://blogs.apache.org/preview/OOo/?previewEntry=you_can_help_us_improve >> >> > >> >> > If anyone has other ideas for the list of reasons to help with QA, let >> >> me know. >> >> > >> >> > But in general it looks like we're ready to start a major recruitment >> >> > effort for QA.
