Setting up /summerofcode sounds like extra work on my part. In short, it doesn't matter where they are hosted - the point is that they are aggregated on the Gentoo-hosted Planet sites. I expect most of them will have external weblogs anyway. Daniel -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

We create a new planet at http://planet.gentoo.org/soc for the duration of the summer, and aggregate their weblogs there. 3. Additionally, we add them to Planet Gentoo and Gentoo Universe for the duration of the summer. What a great idea :) I think it's important to get these SoC-students well-integrated in our [developer] community. Having their gentoo-soc blogs aggregated on Gentoo Planet|Universe seems like a good starting point to me. Hopefully, some of these young and competent students will decide to stick with Gentoo if we can manage to make them feel welcome ;) That is certainly what we are hoping for :) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

You've got to keep in mind that these people have a lot of potential of becoming Gentoo devs themselves... just in a very long drawn out recruitment process. :-) -- Lance Albertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentoo Infrastructure | Operations Manager --- GPG Public Key: http://www.ramereth.net/lance.asc Key fingerprint: 0423 92F3 544A 1282 5AB1 4D07 416F A15D 27F4 B742 ramereth/irc.freenode.net signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

You've got to keep in mind that these people have a lot of potential of becoming Gentoo devs themselves... just in a very long drawn out recruitment process. :-) I believe the idea behind asking the list was to do just that, see what people thought. As of course, if everyone was rather opposed to the idea we'd sort of not push for having them on planet, universe and the lot. Personally, I would have loved to be able to offer them blogs at /developers but the general consensus was that it wouldn't be right just yet. However, if people believe it wouldn't really be a problem, and it wouldn't cause too much of an extra workload for Steve and Daniel, then I for one would be more than happy to go with that option. And yes, I think we are all hoping that they will be of developer quality and that we can recruit them post Summer of Code. Heck, did you guys know that one of our students was the most popular student, out of the 6 projects he applied to, 4 had accepted his proposal. As luck would have it, he decided he wanted to work with us. Having said that, I believe that we ended up with a good quality bunch of people, and I am confident we will be gaining a lot from their work, and hopefully also from future contributions post SoC, and I hope that they in turn will find the experience to be one that benefits them too. -- $a=gentoo.org; Christel Dahlskjaer | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.$a Gentoo Developeress - User Relations, Developer Relations, Gentoo/MIPS, Gentoo/Alpha, PR, Events, Release Engineering -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
