[SoC] [OSGeo @ GSoC 2021] Reminder - Call for ideas and mentors

[Rahul Chauhan]

Dear OSGeo community,


In continuation of earlier email regarding GSoC 2021 [1], please
consider this as a gentle reminder for updating the projects ideas
page.


If you are willing to act as a mentor [2], fill in this form:

< https://forms.gle/9Na1vzGX3ESxqgpj9 >


If you want to participate in proposing ideas, you just need

to send us (admins: <gsoc-admin at osgeo dot org>) the URL for your
project's ideas page.



Remember that every idea should indicate:


    • A title

    • A description

    • 2 mentors

    • A test for the students to submit to your evaluation. The test
aims at evaluating if the student is capable for the project, so
please design the test having in mind the skills required to complete
the project. (For reference: [3][4])


Time is short, we need to collect all URLs strictly by 15th February
2021 so as to complete OSGeo’s org application before 19th February
2021 [6]. After submitting an organisation application Google's admins
will start evaluating the organisations based on the submitted ideas
pages and decide which orgs will be accepted for the GSoC 2021.


Note: GSoC 2021 comes with some new changes in the program. We
sincerely request to go through the announcement mentioning new
changes [6][7].


Kind regards,

Rahul and Rajat

(On behalf of the OSGeo GSoC Admins Team)
