<div><tt>For the last five years, Buildbot has
participated in the Google Summer of Code,
mentoring students while they work on
development projects. Let's do it again!</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt></div>
<tt>Here's what we need:</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt></div>
<tt>1. A co-administrator</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Administrators represent the organization
to google, helping handle student applications,
keeping students and mentors on track during the
year, and handling any situations that come up
during the year (e.g., failing a student.. it
happens).</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt></div>
<tt>I'll be co-administering again this year (unless
we get two eager co-administrators!), but Google
wisely requires two co-admins.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt></div>
<div><tt>2. Mentors</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt></div>
<div><tt>Each mentor works directly with one student
(typically two mentors to a student; see below),
helping them either with the organizational bits
like keeping to a schedule and measuring progress;
or with the technical aspects of the Buildbot
codebase. You don't have to be an expert Buildbot
hacker to mentor!</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt></div>
<div><tt>3. Feedback from previous years</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt></div>
<div><tt>We've had a number of mentors over the years,
and aside from welcoming you back for 2016, I'd love
feedback from you on how we might run things
differently this year. One question I'm
particularly interested in is this: is it useful to
keep the two-mentors-per-student ratio, or should we
try one-to-one?</tt><tt><br>
</tt></div>
<div><tt><br>
</tt></div>
<tt>Applications are due on the 19th, so we'll be
drafting our application at the next Tuesday 16:30UTC
meeting in #buildbot.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>Let us know how you can help!</tt><tt><span
