[Sur] Google Summer of Code 2017

Discussion:

We are still wrapping up GCI and already Google has announced that the
application window for Google Summer of Code [1] is open. Before I pursue
the possibility of Sugar Labs participating, I wanted to get a sense of the
opinion of the Sugar Labs community and the Sugar Labs oversight board.
Should I apply on behalf of Sugar Labs? Anyone interested in either being a
mentor or an administrator?

regards.

Hello Walter,
I'm new to Sugar but have recently started working on contributions so
Sugarizer and also to Sugar. I would like to be involved in Sugar's GSOC
this year as a mentor, or other. I have the experience with Python and
JavaScript, just not with Sugar all this time until now. What is involved
in being an administrator?

The admin role (we need two) is more about managing the logistics: ensuring
we are fulfilling all of our obligations as a participating organization in
terms of mentoring, reporting, etc.

Thanks
Charles Cosse

Count me in as a mentor.

As I suggested in #sugar, we should focus on FIXING/OPTIMIZING code
instead of creating new one this year.. (I know it's students choice,
but we can put some ideas in the wiki)

Hi all,
SugarLabs participation in GSoC is very important. Previous GSoC give me
lot of opportunities to improve Sugarizer activities/features in a very
impressive way. I don't have Sugarizer projects proposal for GSoC 2017 for
the moment but I will certainly have projects to submit.
- Project selection: one project is one token, i.e. one student working for
us during months. We can't lost a token opportunity for a project with few
interest or with few chance to go to its end. We should have an objective
view on project from last years: how many projects are really integrated
into Sugar/Sugarizer today ?
- Mentor selection: a mentor should be someone with experience on its
subject. He must perfectly know the project, the project goal and must have
a very good technical knowledge of its subject. So, sorry to say that not
everyone could be a mentor.
May be it could be interesting to imagine a sort of selection process for
projects, then for mentors.
Best regards for France.
Lionel.

ensuring we are fulfilling all of our obligations as a participating
organization in terms of mentoring, reporting, etc.

In my opinion Sugar Labs participation in Google Summer of Code is really
important for our community and every year we get a lot of major
improvements to our projects, because of students working in this program.

I am definietely for making an application, I am also ready to help as a
mentor.

Best,
Tymon
