(Thank you again Patrick!).</div><div><br></div><div>(Partly) recovered from the jet-lag, it is now time to make some reflections and decide how to follow up in this great experience that is the Google Summer of Code. Talking to Anne, she frankly said that she doesn't wish to continue as GSoC admin for the next year. Actually, wen I stepped in as admin 2 years ago, she had already decided to quit, but nevertheless, she continued for another two years. Now I think we already abused her availability. </div><div><br></div><div>From my side, I wish to continue, and I actually wanted even explore the possibility to participate in the Google Code-in [1]. But this is another story, that deserves another dedicated thread. It is late to apply for it this year, so there will be time to discuss it over.</div><div><br></div><div>My most important point here is: we need a GSoC admins team. Ideally another 2 people, that are willing to work together with me to continue the great OSGeo's experience in GSoC. This is not paid work, however, traditionally 2 GSoC admins have the honor to attend the yearly mentor summit in California, hosted in the Google premises, and the expenses reimbursed by Google.</div><div><br></div><div>Notwithstanding my good will to continue in the role of admin, I have to be realistic and say that I cannot do it alone, so if other volunteers are not found, I'm afraid our participation in GSoC it is going to an end this year.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Please, feel free to circulate this call to your connections, former mentors or former GSoC students, Geo-For-All fellows, etc.. We need your help!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/" target="_blank">https://developers.google.<wbr>com/open-source/gci/</a></div><div><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="m_-1536204187923708582gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><font color="#666666">Margherita Di Leo</font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
