GSoC Mentor Summit
The Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit is approaching!


 * When: 19-20 October, 2013
 * Where: Google Headquarters, Mountain View, California

If you are interested in attending sign up below. We have only 2 slots, and perhaps a 3rd if we get accepted in the waiting list (Quim happens to live in Mountain View). It will be easier to decide if you help explaining your reasons for attending.


 * Your name here.
 * I've been told it is definitely worth attending but haven't been able to attend in previous years. --Nikerabbit (talk) 06:25, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * My reason to go there would be to find partner organizations and proposals for joint ventures in next editions. --Micru (talk) 22:51, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * It would be useful to learn more about the other open source (and GSOC) projects and meet people. Also maybe squeeze in a visit to the WMF office, which I've not been to for a few years now, and be able to chat in person with tech staff about Wikidata stuff. I am primary mentor of one student and second mentor of another. Aude (talk) 16:41, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I am generally interested, because from the description, the event sounds genuinely useful. It can be a bit unusual for me with the schedule, though - I'll probably work in SF for some time in early to mid-September. October 20 is a bit far from that, but maybe I could stay a bit longer? Just thinking out loud. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 21:57, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm interested but being only a co-mentor, I wouldn't want to take one of the guaranteed spots. I would look forward to representing a math&science related project, connecting with the few scientific projects for long term collaboration. Pkra (talk) 16:00, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

We still don't have a criteria to make the selection. Ideas welcome. Here is one: getting your student completing the community bonding period on time is a good sign. :)


 * After a discussion with all parties we have agreed that Aude and Micru will take the two slots. I'm in the waiting list, hoping to get an extra slot.--Qgil (talk) 18:16, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
