Hello GSoC mentors, and teams supporting mentors, We've asked for more time to get ramped up for GSoC, and so the calendar has been moved back to early February. However, that means that our Ideas page needs to be filled NOW, so that it can be taken into consideration once the Org Applications are all in. The quality of our ideas and the guidance they give our students are the most important part of our application. Please begin filling in your ideas now, and ensure that it is comprehensive and accurate.
Including screenshots and other images is allowed, if it enriches the idea for a project. Please ensure complete information about how to contact the team; this is crucial. Take a look at the landing page https://community.kde.org/GSoC -- experienced mentors agree that 1. commits must be made before the student proposal is submitted, and linked on that proposal, and 2. that regular communication from the student must be initiated by the student at least weekly, and we expect daily or nearly daily communication with the team in a more informal way. Be sure to point students to that information, as this should thin our proposals, and raise the quality. TL;DR: Fill out https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2017/Ideas; read https://community.kde.org/GSoC. Now. Valorie -- http://about.me/valoriez
