Seeking Mentors for Google Code-In 2017
Hello Mifos and Apache Fineract communities,
Google just announced it's Google Code-In program will be occurring once
again for the 8th consecutive year. The Mifos Initiative will likely once
again apply to participate in Google Code-In in 2017.
This is Google's program to help introduce pre-university students to open
source where students compete to complete as many bite-sized tasks (3 to 5
hours) as possible across the following buckets: Code,
Documentation/Training, Outreach/Research, Quality Assurance, or User
Interface.
We participated last year and it was an honor to work with talented high
school students and a great way to get many of our newest community members
mobilized as mentors.
Please read our wrap-up post -
http://mifos.org/blog/2016-google-code-in-wrap-up/ - and Rajan's post about
his trip to the GCI event -http://mifos.org/blog/2017-gci-grand-prize-trip/- on
our blog.
Before we submit our application, I wanted to begin capturing who would
like to serve as a mentor. For all of our recent GSOC interns, this is a
great way to begin deepening your role in the community.
This call for mentoring is open to to everyone - you don't have to be a
developer as we need mentors for students working on all the domains.
If you're interested in mentoring, please fill out the form at
https://goo.gl/forms/CI8xbg04hgkLMpmL2 or respond to this mailing list
thread.
A critical part of a successful GCI is a wealth of small tasks - we'll soon
begin generating our list so put on your thinking cap of work you'd like to
see done.
More on the 2017 GCI program can be found below.
Cheers,
Ed

Ed, even if they work in documentation and other things, not code, they
will become a committer. Committer doesn't exclusively means you work on
source code, you work on anything at the project. So it would also be
correct for them to file iCLAs
Cheers

Re: Seeking Mentors for Google Code-In 2017
Posted by Ed Cable <ed...@mifos.org>.
Markus,
I agree that we should start having all active members of the community get
Apache iCLAs in place so that those are on file and the process for making
them a committer in the future can go more smoothly.
Given GCI isn't all related to code development and also includes tasks
around outreach/documentation/etc, not all mentors need to be active
committers. But I do want to take these as the impetus to move towards
granting committership to these active and publicly contributing community
members.
All,
For those who have expressed an interest in mentoring but don't have an
Apache Individual Contributor Level Agreement on file, please download,
sign, and email the following https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf to s
ecretary@apache.org.
You can read more about the processing of submitting an Apache iCLA by
looking at https://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html#cla and
https://www.apache.org/licenses/#submitting

Re: Seeking Mentors for Google Code-In 2017
Posted by Ed Cable <ed...@mifos.org>.
Markus,
I agree that we should start having all active members of the community get
Apache iCLAs in place so that those are on file and the process for making
them a committer in the future can go more smoothly.
Given GCI isn't all related to code development and also includes tasks
around outreach/documentation/etc, not all mentors need to be active
committers. But I do want to take these as the impetus to move towards
granting committership to these active and publicly contributing community
members.
All,
For those who have expressed an interest in mentoring but don't have an
Apache Individual Contributor Level Agreement on file, please download,
sign, and email the following https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf to s
ecretary@apache.org.
You can read more about the processing of submitting an Apache iCLA by
looking at https://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html#cla and
https://www.apache.org/licenses/#submitting

Re: Seeking Mentors for Google Code-In 2017
Posted by Markus Geiss <ma...@kuelap.io>.
Hey all,
I will not be able to Mentor this time.
But we should make sure that all people who want to mentor should at least
have signed a Apache iCLA, being an active committer for the project so we
prevent conditions like with GSoC. Right now we have a load of
contributions that can only be pulled by current committers and this leads
to doubling the effort of reviewing the already reviewed work.
Cheers
Markus

Re: Seeking Mentors for Google Code-In 2017
Posted by Tarun Mudgal <ta...@gmail.com>.
Hello Ed,
I'd like to suggest a minor addition in the Google form - a comment
textbox. It may be helpful just in case the potential mentor has something
to add. For example, in my case, I'm occupied till mid-November and will
find some time after that. The number of hours depends on the situation
then. So, I'd apply as a 'backup' mentor until the things are clear from my
side.
It'll be convenient to keep a track of such a thing if the comment section
is there in the form itself.
Thanks

Hello Mifos and Apache Fineract communities,
Google just announced it's Google Code-In program will be occurring once again for the 8th consecutive year. The Mifos Initiative will likely once again apply to participate in Google Code-In in 2017.
This is Google's program to help introduce pre-university students to open source where students compete to complete as many bite-sized tasks (3 to 5
hours) as possible across the following buckets: Code, Documentation/Training, Outreach/Research, Quality Assurance, or User Interface.
We participated last year and it was an honor to work with talented high school students and a great way to get many of our newest community members mobilized as mentors.
Please read our wrap-up post -
http://mifos.org/blog/2016-google-code-in-wrap-up/ - and Rajan's post about his trip to the GCI event -http://mifos.org/blog/2017-gci-grand-prize-trip/- on our blog.
Before we submit our application, I wanted to begin capturing who would like to serve as a mentor. For all of our recent GSOC interns, this is a great way to begin deepening your role in the community.
This call for mentoring is open to to everyone - you don't have to be a developer as we need mentors for students working on all the domains.
If you're interested in mentoring, please fill out the form at
https://goo.gl/forms/CI8xbg04hgkLMpmL2 or respond to this mailing list thread.
A critical part of a successful GCI is a wealth of small tasks - we'll soon begin generating our list so put on your thinking cap of work you'd like to see done.

FYI. Not sure if this is something we participate as much as GSoC but I
think it would
be useful for some projects to get into this program.
