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... On Monday, February 3, 2020 at 5:53:31 PM UTC-6, Daniel Slutsky wrote: > > Hi. > > Wanted to update that I

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

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 need mentors who are

Hello, GSOC would be great. Can someone also look into getting Clojure to participate in Outreachy? On Wed, 4 Dec 2019 at 10:18 PM, Alex Miller wrote: > As far as I'm aware the work involved here is: > > - submitting the organization application (in Jan) > - soliciting and writing up project

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

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

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

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. On Tuesday, 3 December 2019 17:20:47 UTC+2, Alex Miller wrote: > > Any "group" or organization

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

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

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
