Google Summer of Code -- now!

Hello folks, I know that some of you are just beginning to mentor your Season of KDE students. However, Google has made the prep phase for GSoC even earlier this year, so it is time to start NOW. For more information: https://g.co/gsoc/faq More:

Re: Add your tasks to the Idea page for GCI

Yes, as I said in a previous mail, since no experienced admin stepped up to take the lead, we'll not participate in GCi this year. We would like to have a Season of KDE however. So admins and mentors, please ensure you are on KDE-Soc-admin (this includes former GSoC students!) and ping one of us

Is there interest in participating in Google Code-in this year?

Hello folks, when I've written about GCi before this, I got few to no replies. My feeling is that previous enthusiastic mentors are without the energy and time to participate this year. Org applications are open, but unless I hear a swell of enthusiasm here, I'm inclined to not apply. Thoughts?

Re: time to review the goal proposals

Wow, this is a GREAT lineup of possible goals. It will be difficult to choose just one. On the other hand, we will have this list as a resource when it's time to choose the next goal. Great work! On Mon, Oct 2, 2017 at 11:58 AM, Lydia Pintscher wrote: > Hey folks :) > > A little

Fwd: [GCI-mentors] Google Code-in 2017 is on!

Hello folks, GCi is on! All teams need to begin assembling tasks now, if we want to participate. October 9 is just around the corner, and that is when organization applications open. More details about where we will collect those tasks to follow. For now, if you will mentor at least one task,
