Gearing up for GSoC 2010
We probably ought to think about getting ready to manage GSoC from
within the comdev project this coming year.
In the main I think we should follow the process defined over the last 5
years. Therefore, the first thing we need to do is bring the notes from
the wiki into our CWiki space (and hence our website).
The second thing we need to do is agree any modifications to the
process. Here are my starters:
- allow admins to apply negative marks in evaluation (this is to help
them spread the applicants across a reasonable spread of scores and also
to "correct" mentor evaluations.
- require all potential mentors to add theirprojects to their normal
project JIRA, mark them with a comdev predefined tag (or whatever JIRA
provides for us) and link to them from their FOAF file (exactly how can
be worked out if we agree on this). This will allow the webapp Nick has
started to generate a list of projects and will also mean that possible
projects/mentors are ready for easy reuse outside GSoC.
I don't think it is a good idea to go messing with the GSoC process too
much, but if there are other things like this we can do that will make
it easier to roll out the full mentoring programme after GSoC is
underway I think it's a good idea - so suggestions welcome.

I'll start looking into what information we need to make available for
GSoC 2010 based on the docs we had in moin-moin wiki and will start
moving some of the info into a GSoC section in the main community
website. Please let me know if you have any ideas/suggestions/etc in
mind.

I believe JIRA can do that with a saved filter. We can embed that in the
comdev web site using a JIRA portlet. We should then encourage each
project to have a similar portlet on their own site, both for GSoC and
subsequent tasks.
I guess we should experiment with that first. Since Hadoop already has a
tag for newbie level issues I guess I could try it out (it may help Ravi
find some suitable projects to get started on too).
There is a flaw in this plan though, some projects don't use JIRA.

The reason I started it here is because code-awards@ is an internal list
and I was looking for suggestions relevant to the broader mentoring
operations. Isobel has already drawn attention to this thread over on
code-awards@.

As far as I remember, this is indeed the only thing that need to be
adjusted on the process compared to last year.

This is something that need more discussion. For GSoC, we would need
something that would list all ASF wide project ideas, separated by
project, that could be linked from the ASF page from melange.

+1, but I think we should have started this discussion at code-awards,
as I don't believe we have much people/mentors subscribed to this list
yet.

Any thoughts on the below (29 Dec is a bad time to send such thoughts I
know)
