Summer of Code/Mentors

Our most important need right now is for quality mentors. If you (or someone you know) would make a good mentor, please nominate yourself (or them), both here on the ML and on the wiki (if you can't handle a little redundant paperwork, you're probably not a good candidate :). Include relevant information such as:

• Name/contact
• Timezone
• What kind of projects could/would you mentor?
• How much time could you devote to mentoring? Can you make the especially solid commitment of being a double-mentor?
• What relevant coding experience do you have (very briefly, two sentences at most)?
• What relevant mentoring (or related) experience do you have?
• Anything else you think is relevant.

Please also add this page to your watchlist. We will probably later do some kind of "community interview" process where we ask you questions on this page.

• What kind of projects could/would you mentor?

PyGTK-based activities or Sugar improvements, especially interested in language or developer tools.

• How much time could you devote to mentoring? Can you make the especially solid commitment of being a double-mentor? What are your other commitments over the summer?

I could commit up to 4-6 hours a week. If we are short on mentors and I find project(s) that are an especially good match, I could do 8 hrs (double duty). Over the summer, I hope to be helping to work on an XO deployment, hopefully on a paid basis, but am currently unemployed.

• What relevant coding experience do you have (very briefly, two sentences at most)?

Maintainer of Develop activity, have done some tinkering with Sugar, I've been involved for over a year.

• What relevant mentoring (or related) experience do you have?

I have several years' experience as a full-time teacher.

• Anything else you think is relevant.

Nah.
