[GSoC] Mentor summit attendees
Have we decided who the two attendees are from the ASF? As it happens,
I will be in Sunnyvale that week (and FWIW, I mentored two students
this year).

A useful outcome would be where this results in more folks becoming
part of the ComDev community.
It'd be reasonable to expect ASF attendees at the summit to hold a
session or two which adds value to ASF community development, perhaps
as decided by and relevant to ComDev every year (like the mentoring
program launch you mentioned, for this year).

+1
Although I'm more interested in the impact it has on the ComDev
community to have more people engaged with the broader GSoC mentoring
community.

I think thats correct, with some wiggle room. Seems the last from
Carol on this was its OK in exceptional circumstances to send both
non-US attendees (for some definition of exceptional to be clarified
with her I suppose) and to use our discretion in the matter. More in
soc mentors list archive.
I agree that giving priority to org admins is a simple (and even
intuitive) metric for choosing our attendees. Where org admins have
attended before and/or would graciously consider making room for
others (as both Ross and Luciano have in this thread), I think we
should look to the wider mentor pool.
Heres the net of what I'm saying. Assume same logistics of mentor
summit for next 5 years for sake of illustration here. Then I think it
makes more sense from an org perspective if the number of individuals
we send over across those 5 years going forward tends towards 10,
rather than tending towards 2.

And IMHO the co-admins (Ross and Luciano, right?) should get the next seats.
I think Google prefers that we send only one non-us person there to
keep costs low? If that's correct that would be Luciano. If not, toss
a coin between you guys ;-)

And as this years lead admin I believe you should get priority for one
of the places.
There is still a place left for another mentor.
At last years summit I did a session on how I wanted to create an
ongoing mentoring programme, it would be great if someone could do a
session this year that says "we've just launched our ongoing programme
in the ASF" (which we will have done by the time the summit starts, I
have three EU unis wanting to send students our way - more when I get a
little time to write the mail).

I'm interested, and haven't been before, for whatever that's worth :-)

I'm interested, and I'm local so it shouldn't be a big overhead,
having said that, I've been there before and happy to make room for
others

No we've not decided yet. Who else is interested?
I am, but I've been before and happy to make room for others.
