Hi,
I have query regarding who should be the mentor for the project under Google
Open Source Programs Office?
Can I have a professor from my own institute to be as  mentor ?

With Regards

Yes you can. In fact, if you intend to submit a proposal to Google's Open
Source Programs Office you must identify your mentor in the application when
it is submitted, including contact information. We will verify with your
would-be mentor that s/he is available to work with you if we are
considering accepting your application.

If the project were to be selected, Google would work to get the mentor
registered under Google's Open Source Programs Office.

Okay. Also, could you please clarify if the mentor's organisation ( i.e.,
his professional organisation, not registered to GSOC and not related to the
project) would have anything to do with the program or it could be based
entirely on his personal choice?
And also, could two students, with the mentor's permission, work towards a
single project?

Am still waiting for someone to clarify. Theses issues are not very clear in
the FAQ.

Please be patient when waiting for an answer - 22 hours is not really that
long. :)

If I understand your question, you are asking if the mentor's professional
organization (e.g. The Example Company or Example University) would be
affiliated with Google Summer of Code. The answer is not really - it is a
mentor's choice to mentor, regardless of her professional affiliations. Of
course, if she wanted to put a note on her home page that was hosted by
Example University that she was mentoring a Google Summer of Code project
and provide further details, that would be fine. But this would not make
Example University a GSoC participant.

Cheers,
LH

I apologize for being impatient, but I am really excited about the project.
Hope you understand.
And thanks for the explanations.

But what about two students working under the mentor on he same project. The
FAQ says :
*
*

   1. *Can a group apply for and work on a single proposal?*

   *No, only an individual may work on a given project. Of course, students
   should feel free to collaborate with others to accomplish their project
   goals.*
   2. *What happens if two students are accepted to work on the same
   project, e.g. from an organization's "Ideas" list?*

   *That's fine, a little duplication is par for the course in open source.*

I think that the students are allowed to work individually on the same
project, means that there would be two different instances of the project.
Anyways, I could not get a clear idea from this. I used this FAQ link.

Students are allowed to work with the same mentor. Students are also allowed
to work on different implementations of the same idea, but they are
responsible for their own work and are expected to produce their own code,
not a group submitting code for a particular project. Of course, students
are welcome to collaborate with their fellow students and their communities
- this is open source after all, doing things in a vacuum is not going to
lead to success - but at the end of the day a student is expected to
accomplish a set of deliverables as laid out in their project proposal and
to produce the deliverables herself.

Cheers,
LH
