Should we apply for Google Summer of Code this year? Would we have enough people to serve as mentors, and sufficient good project descriptions?

If you are not on the list posted at http://soc2010.openmrs.org/ and want to be, let me know ASAP. Google is not requiring a full list of mentors on the application this year, so it's not extremely urgent, but I'd like to get the list finalized by the end of the week. Thanks!

More information on the GSoC for OpenMRS is available at: http://soc2010.openmrs.org/ > > REQUIRED SKILLS > Google do not have specific eligibility requirements for mentors. However, if you are interested in being an OpenMRS mentor, you should have sufficient development skills to train university students who may have limited development experience. You should be regularly involved with OpenMRS, and have deep insight into the code base and already be developing code for or around OpenMRS as a significant part of your regular work. You must also be available to communicate via weekly conference calls. You also must be able to commit on average to 4 or 5 hours per week to work with your assigned student. > > IMPORTANT DATES > 18-29 March: Student applicants discuss project ideas with mentoring organizations. > 29 March - 9 April: Students apply to the program. > 26 April: Students are matched with mentors. > 24 May: Students begin work. > 12 July: Mentors submit mid-term evaluations. > 9-16 August: Students complete work. > * see http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/timelinefor all program dates > > STILL INTERESTED? > If, after reading this information, you are interested in possibly being a GSoC mentor this year, please e-mail me as soon as possible directly (off-list) at [email protected]. > > Thanks! > > Michael Downey > OpenMRS Community Infrastructure Team > [email protected] _________________________________________ To unsubscribe from OpenMRS Mentors' mailing list, send an e-mail to [email protected] with "SIGNOFF openmrs-mentors-l" in the body (not the subject) of your e-mail.
