Welcome to GSoC 2015
Fellow friends of Mailman, dear students,
welcome to GSoC 2015 (the Mailman edition)!
First of all: We were overwhelmed by the amount of interest in Mailman during this year's application phase. We got far more applications than expected, and in the process many bug fixes (and new reports) and merge proposals. Thanks to all the applicants who asked questions on IRC, posted thoughts and ideas to this mailings list and submitted an unexpected number of great proposals. You rock!
Google gave us 3 slots (which is a really good number, given we're in as a separate org for the first time in years). But having to pick 3 out of 25 left us with some really hard choices. So for those who couldn't get in this year: Please don't feel discouraged to keep contributing to Mailman or to try again next year!
But now, without further ado, let's welcome our three GSoC students:
Ankush Sharma - Mailman client written in JavaScript Mentors: Florian Fuchs, Abhilash Raj
Bhavesh Goyal - A Dashboard for Admins/Owners/Moderators Mentors: Abhilash Raj, Sneha Priscilla Makini
Pranjal Yadav - Dynamic Sublists Mentors: Stephen Turnbull, Terri Oda
Congratulations to you all -- we are looking forward to working with you! Let's have a great summer!

Fellow friends of Mailman, dear students,
welcome to GSoC 2015 (the Mailman edition)!
Congratulations to all of the applicants on the high quality of applications!
For those who were not selected, I'd be happy to discuss your applications off-list (and by mail, not IRC, I'm still catching up on $DAYJOB so replies may take a few days).
But now, without further ado, let's welcome our three GSoC students:
Congratulations to the selected students!
And a personal note:
Bhavesh Goyal - A Dashboard for Admins/Owners/Moderators Mentors: Abhilash Raj, Sneha Priscilla Makini
I've mentored a similar project in the past (Shanu Salunke's "Mailman Interface" for Systers), so feel free to include me in discussions.
That said, speaking as an individual mentor, I would really like to see most technical discussions take place on this list, or at least be summarized here. I hope folks not participating in GSoC will bear with us (hi, Andrew! some of your older posts are in my queue, someday soon...). Besides wanting to see what students I'm *not* mentoring are up to, we've had issues in the past where a project went off in an unprofitable (ie, hard to integrate) direction when the mentor and student were communicating almost exclusively in personal mail and IRC direct messages.
Although your mentor has a *responsibility* to answer you, the rest of us care and want to contribute, and that's easiest if you post to this list.
Here's to a fun and productive summer for everyone!
Steve
