Hi Ross --a quick follow-up on this.
As you may have been following our emails, we're aiming to issue the ASF press
release tomorrow. How would you like to go about integrating the TEALs angle?
Should this be something we work around for ApacheCon? Or did you have
something else in mind?
I'm happy to take the conversation off-list whilst we sort out the details.
Thanks again,Sally

Sally we could weave this into the diversity angle, as a reminder I intend to
use the state of the feather to acknowledge that we have mostly failed to move
the needle on diversity in our community, that very little works (GSoC is a
good example of something that does work), accept we don’t have significant
cash resources to make a big difference and therefore we have invited TEALs to
present, organize a BOF and have a table in the expo area. TEALs help get
people like our vast army of volunteers into high schools to help improve CS
education. My hope is that by supporting activities like this we can have a
small impact on the quality and breadth of CS education for those coming to us
as contributors in later years. What do you think? If this works for you I
could link you to the TEALs people to help with content for a blog. Oh, and
I will be at ApacheCon. Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc. A subsidiary of

GSoC gives students the chance to work on industry-leading Open Source projects, collaborate with diverse communities, and gain real world experience related to their academic pursuits, added Stärk. We are proud to have mentored so many talented students over the years, and furthered our mission of providing software products for the public good. It's a rewarding experience both for the students and the Apache community at-large. Since the program's inception, GSoC has brought together over 8,500 successful student participants from over countries and over 8,000 mentors from 109 countries worldwide to produce over 55 million lines of code. Being accepted once again as a Google Summer of Code mentoring organization reinforces The Apache Software Foundation's leadership in community-driven development, said ASF Vice Chairman Greg Stein, who, in 2005 co-created the GSoC program while working at Google. Hundreds of students have been mentored in 'The Apache Way' --many have continued on to become long-term code committers on a variety of Apache projects, with some active program participants elected as ASF Members. Information on the ASF's participation in Google Summer of Code is available at http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html About The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) Established in 1999, the all-volunteer Foundation oversees more than 350 leading Open Source projects, including Apache HTTP Server --the world's most popular Web server software.

Re: ASF accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2015
Just a quick question on this. Seeing that there will be some members of ComDev as well as PMCs at ApacheCon, is it likely that any in-person mentoring/hackathon/MeetUps/* will take place there? I know it's not common practice for GSoC, but I was curious if we'd be open to anything like that. Humans huddling and all...

Sally we could weave this into the diversity angle, as a reminder I intend to use the state of the feather to acknowledge that we have mostly failed to move the needle on diversity in our community, that very little works (GSoC is a good example of something that does work), accept we don’t have significant cash resources to make a big difference and therefore we have invited TEALs to present, organize a BOF and have a table in the expo area. TEALs help get people like our vast army of volunteers into high schools to help improve CS education. My hope is that by supporting activities like this we can have a small impact on the quality and breadth of CS education for those coming to us as contributors in later years. What do you think?

TEALs help get people like our vast army of volunteers into high schools to help improve CS education. My hope is that by supporting activities like this we can have a small impact on the quality and breadth of CS education for those coming to us as contributors in later years. What do you think? If this works for you I could link you to the TEALs people to help with content for a blog. Oh, and I will be at ApacheCon. Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc.

Yesterday, we have been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2015 [1],[2]. This means that over the summer, our committers will mentor students that are sponsored by Google and will be working on our projects. The program helps us not only to get some code written but also to introduce students into open source development and hopefully recruit some new long-term committers. More information on the program is available at [3]. Students are now encouraged to discuss ideas with the respective projects and begin drafting proposals. An extensive list of already existing project ideas is available at [4]. The actual application phase is from March 16 until March 27, coding will take place from May 25 to August 21. See [5] for the detailed timeline. Can you please run any press release past us (dev@community.apache.org mailto:dev@community.apache.org) before publishing?
