What's the estimated running dates for the projects? I need to be aware to 
which dates i'm potentially agreeing to be available in advance.

Urgent: we need projects (with mentors) for a gsoc-like project with Canadian universities (CANOSP)

2021-11-12 Thread Tomaz Canabrava
Hello fellows
The kde community, represented by me (Tomaz Canabrava) and Aniqa Khokhar,
had a really nice meeting with CANOSP - a coalition of universities from
Canada - with the intention of hosting a few projects for the students to
work on.

Differently from gsoc, the students will not work alone but in groups of
theee to four, and they will also not write a project to implement, but
implement something that the application needs - with the hints of the
mentor.

It’s expected that the projects are technically challenging and that it has
either real world usage or can be interesting on a university context.

The project will run for a semester within the universities, with one local
mentor for each team (a uni professor) and a kde mentor.

This is a great opportunity for us to improve the entry barrier in Canada -
as, from what I understand we have almost zero developers.


I’ll wait for projects for two weeks before sending the names to the CANOSP
organization


Best regards,
Tomaz
