Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo is accepted as a mentor organization for GSoC    2017!

Dear OSGeo community,


We are proud to announce that OSGeo has been selected as a mentor organization for the 2017 edition of GSoC! See all selected orgs here [1].


>From now *until March 20*, potential student participants are invited to discuss application ideas with mentoring organizations/OSGeo’s projects (see the detailed timeline [2]).


Mentors are invited to let us know the project they intend to mentor, and to register on the Google webpage [3]. *Before committing for mentorship, please read and accept the mentor’s responsibilities * [4].


Once we have verified the correspondence between the mentors and the idea, we will proceed to appointing them in our wiki page at [5] and connect the mentors to the OSGeo organization on the Google website, from which it’ll be possible for the mentors to evaluate the proposals. Mentors: please offer guidance to the students that contact your software communities, and offer them a code challenge in line with the project that they want to apply for.

Would-be students: please read carefully the recommendations at: [6] and browse the ideas page at [7]

*All: please subscribe the soc mailing list *[8].


Let’s begin!!


Cheers,

The OSGeo GSoC Team
