Thank you. Can you please add your gitter id to the mentor list for the ATH GSoC proposal <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M15rktOEOIPlDrlS13f42bSJLbI0P47hplBIAL_FX_g/> ? I can try to clarify what GSoC mentoring implies. Being a GSOC mentor has many benefits IMO. You get a student for full time for 4 months to work on your project (ATH in this case). You get to define and steer the project in ways that help you and the community. At the end of the program, the project has moved forward, and could even be entirely completed. The mentors becomes better at mentoring which can be seen as career development. Mentors do not work alone, they work as a team of mentors (3+) per project. Then there are org admins who guide and support mentors. The mentor participates in the project definition up until about the first coding phase (see the timeline <https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline>). Students officially start to apply in late March but to be honest, students are already asking questions in the gsoc gitter chat <https://gitter.im/jenkinsci/gsoc-sig> about the projects they find interesting. In any case, the mentor involvement is varies between 5 to 6 to 8 hours per week, depending on the phase of the project. At the start, time is invested in defining the project, answering students' questions, and working with students on a project design document and schedule. Once the coding starts, mentors meet students twice per week, and review their pull-requests on a daily basis, and continue to guide them. All communications are on public channels (no private email communications except for private matters).
