Google Summer of Code: request for mentors

[Robert Kowalski <ro...@kowalski.gd>]

Hi list,

CouchDB takes part in this Google Summer of Code and we are searching
for mentors! What I have heard mentoring takes around 5hrs a week.

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 at
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2015.
3. Add your username (formerly known as link_id) to
https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/GsocLinkId.txt. 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  http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/connection/start/user/google/gsoc2015/apache
and send a
connection request.
