Re: Clojure has been selected to participate in GSoC 2017!

[Alex Miller]

Having this discussion under the topic GSOC 2017 is increasingly confusing 
(given that it's now not GSOC or 2017), so I'd suggest starting a new 
thread if there is more to talk about...

 I'm not aware of anyone with the time or money to commit to an effort

Hi.

Wanted to update that I decided not to be involved in GSoC 2020.

Another option, similar and different, that some of us are discussing 
elsewhere is Rails Girls SoC 2020.
https://railsgirlssummerofcode.org
https://railsgirlssummerofcode.org/about/
I like the idea that it actively seeks diversity, and that it is possible 
to submit a concrete open source project as a suggestion.

 Thanks very much for the background on GSoC and the kind words Alex :)

 Clojurists Together would be happy to help provide the backing admin 
 infrastructure (bank accounts, international payments, etc.) and oversight 
 to help run GSoC. However, I don't think anyone on the committee has the 
 bandwidth to be the primary person to lead the GSoC project; we'd need 
 someone from the community to volunteer to be that person.

 If someone else wants to run this as part of a different organisation 
 that's also totally fine with us, don't consider this us calling "dibs".

 Thanks, Daniel.

Outreachy seems like a great program but like most things, it requires
significant time and money (https://www.outreachy.org/mentor/).

They need an organization coordinator who can apply, find funds
($6500/intern), find mentors, help develop and assess projects. They also

Re: Clojure has been selected to participate in GSoC 2017!

[Alex Miller]

As far as I'm aware the work involved here is:

- submitting the organization application (in Jan)
- soliciting and writing up project ideas (in Jan/Feb)
- soliciting potential mentors for each project (often there is a natural
match between idea and mentor) - spring
- pairing up selected students/projects and mentors - spring
- getting mentors to write evals for their students - summer
- accepting funds - fall
- if desired, distributing those funds in some way (when I helped Cognitect
run it, we redistributed the funds to pay for students to travel to Clojure
conferences) - fall

Great opportunity for someone to contribute!

Re: Clojure has been selected to participate in GSoC 2017!

[Daniel Compton]

Hi folks, I'm the secretary of Clojurists Together.

Thanks very much for the background on GSoC and the kind words Alex :)

Clojurists Together would be happy to help provide the backing admin
infrastructure (bank accounts, international payments, etc.) and oversight
to help run GSoC. However, I don't think anyone on the committee has the
bandwidth to be the primary person to lead the GSoC project; we'd need
someone from the community to volunteer to be that person.

If someone else wants to run this as part of a different organisation
that's also totally fine with us, don't consider this us calling "dibs".

Thanks, Daniel.

Re: Clojure has been selected to participate in GSoC 2017!

[Alex Miller]

GSoC is an amazing opportunity if you get the right combination of an 
appropriately sized project, a motivated student, and a mentor that has 
both sufficient availability and expertise in guiding (like Ambrose's Typed 
Clojure work). If any of those aren't right, the project tends to fizzle 
out or go unused so a lot of the time and effort does not result in an 
effectual end result. 

To some degree, Clojurists Together is doing the same kind of work but 
prioritizing projects that people care about and developers that are 
already "in" the project rather than students starting fresh (and paying 
more for the work). I think CT has created way more total value for the 
community than GSoC ever did.

But again, depends on goals. If your goal is to connect students more 
closely to Clojure, then GSoC is great for that.

Ag, Alex, many thanks.

These days some of us are trying to think where we should put our efforts 
in the next few months. This might be one of the things we have to 
consider. We'll update if we do.

Re: Clojure has been selected to participate in GSoC 2017!

[Alex Miller]

Any "group" or organization can submit a project to GSoC as long as there 
are 2+ committers and there are existing releases under an OSI license 
(which includes EPL). The organization select projects, connects mentors to 
students, prods people about evaluations, and receives $500/completed 
student. Students submit proposals (usually these should happen under 
consultation with the project) and are directly paid stipends by Google for 
completed projects. I think the organization application is usually open in 
January.

I think there are several groups in the Clojure ecosystem that would 
potentially be great orgs for this - CIDER, ClojureBridge, clj-commons, etc.

Re: Clojure has been selected to participate in GSoC 2017!

[Ag Ibragimov]

Would you do it Daniel, would you apply? I apologize for if that sounds like 
I'm brazenly pushing you. If I had capacity to do that, I would volunteer, alas 
I'm afraid I don't even know how that works.
It would be awesome if Clojure once again accepted in GSoC. How can we 
(ordinary Clojuristas) help to get there?

Getting involved

The student application period will be open from the 20th of March
through the 3rd of April. In the meantime, there are a number of ways to
get involved:

*Mentors*

If you maintain an open source Clojure(Script) project and would like to
grow it, you should consider becoming a mentor. You can find out more about
what being a mentor is about out on the mentors page
.

*Students*

While it is still to early to formally apply as GSoC student, this is a
great time to start thinking about project ideas and reach out to potential
mentors. Check out the students page 
for more information on how to apply successfully.

*Everyone else*

Even if you can’t participate as student or don’t want to be a mentor,
you can still help by letting people know about GSoC at your local Clojure
meetup, university, or other local group.

Thanks

We would also like to extend a big thank you to all of the people who
contributed to our project ideas
.  Without their help, it is
likely our application would not have been a success.

We applied and were not accepted for a couple years. Having done some of 
the admin/org stuff in the past, I don't really want to do it again, but an 
organization like Clojurists Together would be great for that part 
(although I'm not looking to add any work to anyone else either). It's not

[Daniel Slutsky]

Hi all,
has there been thoughts about clojure activity in GSoC since 2017?

Clojure has been selected to participate in GSoC 2017!

[Daniel Solano Gómez]

We are pleased to announce that Google has selected Clojure as a mentoring 
organisation for this year’s summer of code! This means that Google will 
sponsor students from around the world to work on projects that are part of 
the Clojure ecosystem. Now that we know that Clojure will be participating, 
what happens next?

Getting involved

The student application period will be open from the 20th of March through 
the 3rd of April. In the meantime, there are a number of ways to get 
involved:

*Mentors*

If you maintain an open source Clojure(Script) project and would like to 
grow it, you should consider becoming a mentor. You can find out more about 
what being a mentor is about out on the mentors page 
.

*Students*

While it is still to early to formally apply as GSoC student, this is a 
great time to start thinking about project ideas and reach out to potential 
mentors. Check out the students page  
for more information on how to apply successfully.

*Everyone else*

Even if you can’t participate as student or don’t want to be a mentor, you 
can still help by letting people know about GSoC at your local Clojure 
meetup, university, or other local group.

Thanks

We would also like to extend a big thank you to all of the people who 
contributed to our project ideas . 
 Without their help, it is likely our application would not have been a 
success.
