I am going to take up being the admin for GSoC this year. So I am getting the application prepared. I will post a separate thread calling for project ideas. Best, Travis On Thursday, February 11, 2021 at 5:49:55 AM UTC+10 dim...@gmail.com wrote: > being an admin is relatively little work. >

being an admin is relatively little work. Perhaps we can indeed skip this year, in particular as the GSoC format got changed so that the projects are to be considerably shorter, stipends smaller too, high school leavers became eligible, etc. (so more PR for Goog, less substance, I think)

Sounds like Travis is asking if a previous admin would be willing to be the mentor for new admins. Perhaps if we have a mentoring program for new admins, we will be able to recruit more admins. On Wednesday, February 10, 2021 at 12:22:36 AM UTC-8 Travis Scrimshaw wrote: > I think I could

I think I could probably manage being part of the admin, but I definitely could not do it alone without someone who knows more about how it works. Best, Travis On Tuesday, February 9, 2021 at 11:46:55 PM UTC+10 David Coudert wrote: > This year is difficult for all of us and we lack motivation

This year is difficult for all of us and we lack motivation for this edition of GSoC. On the other end, it is more important than ever to push/motivate/help students. Other Sagemath contributors than the usual could be involved in mentoring activity. I think many contributors are not really

I have participated as mentor other years... but this year I just don't think I have the needed energy. I think Harald's proposal to pass this year and reconsider the next one makes sense (sadly). El domingo, 7 de febrero de 2021 a las 17:54:07 UTC+1, harald@gmail.com escribió: > Hi, a

Hi, a word from my side: I would really like to stop being admin as well and hope someone else can take over. I'm the one writing the application each year and I could this time around, but in general I want to focus on other things after all those years. Despite that, looks like there are

I'll be happy to mentor a good student, but would prefer not to be admin. I already have a huge load of administrative work daily and would appreciate not to have extra. Le jeudi 4 février 2021 à 15:21:06 UTC+1, dim...@gmail.com a écrit : > On Thu, Feb 4, 2021 at 3:32 AM 'Travis Scrimshaw' via
