Hmm, there is little about what mentors are expected apart from the following rather general question, is there? | 2. What is the role of a mentoring organization? If we want to take part in GSoC, from that question, I guess we need a little more than only mentors: | A pool of project ideas for students to choose from. Grant already asked for ideas. | An organization administrator to act as the project's main point of contact | for Google; Any volunteers? | A person or group responsible for review and ranking of student | applications, I'd be happy to help out here. Anyone else? | A person or group of people responsible for monitoring the progress of each | accepted student and to mentor her/him as the project progresses; + backup That would be the mentors Grant already mentioned. | A written evaluation of each student participant, including how s/he worked | with the group, whether s/he should be invited back should we do another | Google Summer of Code, etc. I guess this could be done by each member but should be reviewed by more than one person, as it looks like the evaluations are going to be highly subjective. > Or join the #gsoc IRC channel on freenode. Sorry, but working on Mahout only after work I usually do not have the time to follow irc channels :( Anyone here, who already took part in GSoC and could give us a little summary of her experiences? Is it possible to do the mentoring job in the freetime after work or should one better plan more time than that?
