Google "Summer of Code" 2006 Mentor Summit
The reference to the "party" in my last GSoC-related posting
was not really a joke: There will be a Google "Summer of Code" 2006
Mentor Summit at the Google headquarter in Mountain View, CA
on October 14th. Each mentoring organisation gets to send two
of their admins/mentors, and today I got my hotel and flight
ticket confirmed, finally.
The agenda's still building up, but my personal point of
interest is how much "research" to have in the actual project
proposals - I'm under the impression that the NetBSD project
proposals could/should be a lot clearer, and leave less decisions
or open questions to the student working on a project. Of course
it means a lot more work and to at least halfways think through
a project before proposing it, but at the end it will mean a
clearer defined goal for the student towards which to work.
Depending on the actual project, of course.
