Why does your org want to participate in Google Summer of Code?

GSoC is a great opportunity to both broaden the reach of our community, but 
also a place to take risks on new ideas that could lead to new directions for 
the program. For example, for the past two years we mentored a project on 
programming and music that has turned into a major initiative. GSoC has also 
been instrumental in helping us reach beyond the desktop onto other platforms, 
such as Android and Chromium. Plus it is a good way to engage the existing 
community around these initiatives.
494/1000
How many potential mentors have agreed to mentor this year?
11-15
How will you keep mentors engaged with their students?

We have weekly group meetings and individual meetings between mentor teams and 
students.
88/1000
How will you help your students stay on schedule to complete their projects?

In their proposals, students must present a detailed weekly plan. Each student 
makes a weekly report at our group meeting. They report what they did, what 
worked, what didn't, and what is queued up for the next week.
216/1000
How will you get your students involved in your community during GSoC?

We conduct all of our meetings in our public IRC channel. Also, students will 
send regular blog reports to the community as a whole.
132/1000
How will you keep students involved with your community after GSoC?

We've had great success in keeping students involved (as mentors in GCI, for 
example.) Because Sugar is a community project, many of our students do local 
projects as well. Some former GSoC students are also now GSoC mentors.

My apologies for my mistake. Yes. Our usual Oversight Board meeting (hence
SLOB). Beginning in 12 minutes.

Walter,

In my understanding today's meeting is an *Oversight Board meeting*,
not an *Advisory
Board meeting*. Is there an Active Advisory board at all?

Since they are both defined on Sugar Labs Governance documentation [1], I
believe it accuracy is pretty important:

Can you please clarify.

Thanks and regards,
Laura Victoria
