While it may all start with "someone to lead". It requires a bit more than just that. There must be a pair of admins (primary and backup). There must be a willing and able pool of mentors (in duplicate as well, primary and backup). Those mentors must be willing and capable of mentoring the pool of ideas which should be reasonably applicable to "the project" (aka Enlightenment). This pool of ideas historically is a tad elusive and difficult to agree upon (the value and applicability of individual ideas). Why do I mention the above? Well, finding someone to admin is likely the easy part. Rounding up enough devs and enough quality ideas, such that E appears committed, determined to be involved, and "relevant" to today's *nix world is the trick. So, while admin'ing is a lot of work, and frankly time consuming and tough in "hard times" (though I consider it a very worthwhile endeavor) .... one might argue "admins" are a dime a dozen. An admin without mentors is of little value. I would ask... By show of hands... are there volunteers to mentor? And do you have ideas in hand? Sifting through this thread I see: Daniel Juyung Seo Tom Hacohen Cedric BAIL David Seikel Are you all still willing and able? Are there others in the wings? (NB: "Mentors" must be formally ordained E committers, preferably "active" in recent past or still very up to date on all things "E", as you will be point man for answering all the questions and guiding your student.) > If there is no one, this mail will become the last notification mail. > Thank. > > Daniel Juyung Seo (SeoZ) > > > On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 5:22 PM, Daniel Juyung Seo <[email protected]> > wrote: >> Yes I will join as a mentor but I hope someone who has GSoC experience can >> help/lead GSoC applications and writing docs in English. >> Thanks. >> >> Daniel Juyung Seo (SeoZ) >> >> On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 3:31 PM, Cedric BAIL <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 1:49 PM, ravenlock <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> On 2/13/13 6:18 AM, Tom Hacohen wrote: >>>>> On 13/02/13 01:26, Cedric BAIL wrote: >>>>>> On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 at 12:37 AM, David Seikel <[email protected]> >>>>>> wrote: >>>>>>> On Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:03:03 +0900 Daniel Juyung Seo >>>>>>> <[email protected]> wrote: >>>>>>>> Hello, GSoC(Google Summer of Code) 2013 has been announced.
