Hi Federico,

I agree with your points. But why not rather focus on good students instead of trying to train many students?

I can't participate as a mentor, though. I was not happy with the effort I could come up with (due to time constraints) the last time. So I'd rather not participate as a mentor at all than participate with little impact.

I'm happy if I can contribute code as part of my work and provide assistance in the chat and on the mailing list. But in my free time, I don't really have time currently to do productive open source stuff because of family life.

I hope you understand that.

Greetings,
Oliver

Hi everyone,

we are applying again as a mentoring organization for the Google Code-In 2019.

This year I want to propose that our main goals should be:

- train as many students as we can, with the goal that they may become mentors in the future
- keep improving OpenWISP and fixing bugs
- improve the work done during GSoC by our GSoC students
- improve our documentation further (although in my experience it's pretty hard for new students to write good docs)

What do you think about these? Is there anything you would add or remove?

I want to put particular importance on the first point, because one of the main complaints given by our students in the past editions was the number of available mentors. If we can increase the amount of competent mentors, we will be able to train more students and multiply our impact on Open Source.

If you're interested in participating as a mentor, please fill this form:
