Hi everyone, (sorry about the cross-post, I want to make sure this message gets out) As things stand now, no one has offered to be a mentor for this year's GSoC for Tux4Kids. If you are too busy to make a commitment, I know how you feel, and this year I sort of feel that way myself. I had hoped someone else would offer to be the GSoC admin this year for our projects. I've decided I'm willing to do that, as long as we have mentors for the projects, but so far no one has agreed to be a mentor. If the consensus is to sit this year out, I'm more or less OK with that. For sure on the tuxmath/tuxtype side, there are a ton of "loose ends" that ought to be taken care of before we add major or invasive new features, and I get the sense the same is true for Tux Paint. Still, GSoC is our biggest opportunity to bring new developers into the project, so I would like to participate if there is interest. But if no one can mentor, it's a moot point. For the last two years, I was both admin and mentor, and I felt like I didn't give my students as much attention as they deserved. So, if you want to be a mentor, and it is news to you that we might not participate this year due to lack of mentors, let me know right away (as in by Thursday AM). The deadline for us to submit an organization application is Friday. I don't want anyone feeling shocked after the fact if we don't apply to participate this year. As always, thanks everyone for everything you have contributed. I don't want anyone to get the idea that they should feel obligated to volunteer. Best, David Bruce |

Hi David! It is hard the hear that no one have time this year! Sadly I am in my last year at the university, and I am very busy and I also don't want to leave a student with out attention. I got this experience the first time I was mentor. On the Admin question, it is hard for me because my nad English. But let me see, I can try to do an effort. My idea is continue the work on TuxHistory, but one of the biggest problems I have now is the lack of an integrated GUI TuxHistory. So I was thinking about the possibility of including a own (basic) GUI in TuxCommons. What do you think abut it? 2011/3/8 David Bruce <dav...@gm...>: > Hi everyone, > > (sorry about the cross-post, I want to make sure this message gets out) > > As things stand now, no one has offered to be a mentor for this year's > GSoC for Tux4Kids. > > If you are too busy to make a commitment, I know how you feel, and > this year I sort of feel that way myself.

I could probably help, but then again, you're right about the "you wouldn't want to be mentored by someone younger to you".

I'm in the same boat as Jesus--ready and willing to mentor, but probably not capable of giving it my full attention. IMHO, continued participation in SoC is very important for both the software and the org, even if it needs to be scaled back to one or two slots (unless that's not allowed). So, though I think Aviral or Siddharth could do a fine job mentoring (especially for tasks with a wide scope such as cleanup or fixes), I'll give it a go if it really is necessary to keep us in the game. -Brendan On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 12:51 AM, Aviral Dasgupta <avi...@gm...> wrote: > I could probably help, but then again, you're right about the "you wouldn't > want to be mentored by someone younger to you". > > > On 9 March 2011 09:17, Jesus Mager <fo...@gm...> wrote: > >> Hi David! >> >> It is hard the hear that no one have time this year!

Hi Tim (and everyone), I just submitted the Tux4Kids organization application to participate in GSoC 2010. It was largely copied from last year's application. We need to update our ideas page fairly quickly: http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/user/david_bruce/tux4kids I think it is editable by all members of our project on Melange, but I'm not really sure. Right now it just has last years ideas, many of which are still applicable. I'm planning to update it when I get up tomorrow, but feel free to edit it as you see fit with current ideas. Also - Brendan - I deputized you as our "backup admin", at least for the purposes of getting the form submitted. You shouldn't have to do anything unless I come down with a serious illness or something like that. Best, David |

Hi, I was planning to apply as student because it's my last year at my university too. My goal was apply as student this year and as mentor next year... And also I think i did not participate enough to be a mentor... regards, -- ---------------- Victor Toso |
