Hi folks,
Terri Oda's original message to this list about CPython's participation in Google Summer of Code 2014 is at the end of this email.
If you'd like to see CPython participate in Google Summer of Code 2014, we need*at least 2 people* to say they are interested in mentoring by the end of today, February 13th.
*Are you interested in mentoring? Please speak up!*
This is not a binding commitment; this is just a statement of interest. As a previous GSoC mentor, I'd say the time commitment is around 10 hours / week per student, and this is best split across 2 mentors.
I am interested. Last summer I was unofficially a subject-matter committer-review mentor for the two GSOC students who worked on Idle tests. They were officially mentored by Todd Rovito, who handled everything else. I can imagine doing something similar (Idle project, with co-mentor) again. -- Terry Jan Reedy
