Not that much work, but somewhat continuous attention. You need to be available when you are needed. Main chunks of work are: - At the start, get together the initial submission to be an organization. - Get together good project ideas, weed out the bad ones, make sure that every idea has a committed mentor available, should it be proposed and accepted. - Get together a mentor pool who will evaluate submissions. - Answer questions from students during the student proposal phase. - Whip mentors to do their evaluations. - Once students are selected, ensure that people are happy and communicating on a regular basis. - Whip mentors to do their midterm and final evaluations. There are some good suggestions on screening project ideas and students from the Mentor Summit from last year. http://www.red-bean.com/ospowiki/MentorSummit-2006 -- Paul Ramsey Refractions Research http://www.refractions.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 250-383-3022 Cell: 250-885-0632 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss Warning: Information provided via electronic media is not guaranteed against defects including translation and transmission errors.
