Fwd: Google Summer of Code 2013 Mentor Registration

[Claudio Martella <cl...@gmail.com>]

Guys, we should register with a number of projects to the GSoC also this
year. One important task that we could get, would be to remove munge
plugin. Does anybody want to mentor a GSoC student on this task? I think I
won't be able to provide mentorship this summer. Avery, we've been
discussing this in the past, are you interested?

Dear PMCs,

I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of 190
accepted organizations for
Google Summer of Code 2014! [1,2]

It is now time for the mentors to sign up, so please pass this email on to
your community and podlings. If you aren't already subscribed to
mentors@community.apache.org (formerly code-awards@apache.org) you should
do so now else you might miss important information.

Mentor signup requires two steps: mentor signup in Melange and PMC
acknowledgement.

If you want to mentor a project in this year's SoC you will have to

1. Be an Apache committer.
2. Register with Melange and set up a profile [3].
3. Add your username (formerly known as link_id) to [4]. This is NOT your
email address but your
Melange username. You can find it at the top of any page once you are
logged in.
4. Request an acknowledgement from the PMC for which you want to mentor
projects. Use the below
template and do not forget to copy mentors@community.apache.org.
5. Once a PMC member acknowledges the request to mentor, and only then, go
to [5] and send a connection request.

PMCs, read carefully please.

We request that each mentor is acknowledged by a PMC member. This is to
ensure the mentor is in good
standing with the community. When you receive a request for
acknowledgement, please ACK it and cc
mentors@community.apache.org

Lastly, it is not yet too late to record your ideas in Jira (see my
previous emails for details). Students will now begin to explore ideas so
if you haven't already done so, record your ideas immediately!

Cheers,

Uli
