Hello, About what would we gain from that, Google gives U$D 5,500 for every student who completes the program plus U$D 500 to the organization for every student mentored... So if we had like 4 students, plus the contribution to the project, we would get maybe new contributors to the project, plus U$D 2,000 (which is not a lot, but to a small organization such as Pytest, it would mean a good addition).
I think that many people that I meet in Sprint could be a great mentor (you, Bruno; Brianna, Holger, etc)... I would say that maybe it would take like 5 hours a week per student (Dave, is it too much or too little?)... We have to present an idea list, so it would be good if every possible mentor could present at least one idea. I created a fake organization profile just to see the application form, and then I copied what I found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10ilHJDlvm2hj4y9CEW_belAOBJzVARdzMb3ubxCdEUY/edit?usp=sharing Another thing, I just saw that Python accepts sub org applications, for example, those were the sub orgs that worked with the main python organization last year: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2016#Python_Sub-orgs_and_Project_Ideas, we can try to contact python org to see if Pytest can apply to be a sub org of Python.
