GSoC Mentors

[Carlton Gibson]

Hi all.

We're reaching the end of the application period for GSoC.

In order to know how many students we might accept, we need to know how many prospective mentors we have.

This falls into two kinds of job:

1. General project management help: communicating with students to help them set a schedule and a rhythm, and make sure they're able to make progress. (The hope is they're self motivated but...)

2. More technical input. For this I'm thinking particularly about the migrations framwork (Markus, Simon, Shai, Andrew, ...) but experienced hands with knowledge of the internals: your input would be invaluable here.

The forum seems to be working well, and it's a good format for this kind of thing, so I want to aim to focus the discussion there.

I'd like to share the mentoring as a group. We'd need to assign specific mentors but I don't see why it can't be a group thing.

If you could hang out a bit on the forum (mainly for task 1) and/or offer technical input, which you might be doing already/anyway (for task 2) then that would be a super contribution.

Please let me know if you'd be willing to help mentor.

Thanks

Kind Regards,

Carlton

I confirm my willingness to be a mentor for ORM and Migrations related work.

Thanks Simon, super.

Hi Carlton,

I'm happy to help out with 1), if you think I would be helpful.

I will not be of much help with 2) :-)

I want to take on a project and start contributing my part to django but I have no idea where to start. If anyone can help me, that would be great...

thanks a lot.

[Tom Forbes]

Happy to help any way I can (very time constrained in the near future, but that should ease off).

I think sharing the burden as a group is a great idea.

Hi Ramya,

To start contributing to Django, first I would look at the list of “Easy tickets” which are still unassigned:

https://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=!closed&easy=1&stage=Accepted&desc=1&order=changetime

There is just one right now:

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30864

Then you should try building the Django code base and run the tests, how, is described here:

https://github.com/carltongibson/dcus2019sprints

Since this ticket is about documentation, we probably also have to build the code base of the Django website, so

https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com

I’m kind of at the same stage, so if you want to reach out to me directly via email we can go through those steps together. We also should assign the ticket to one of us once we know we start working on it.

Best,

Antje

Hi Carlton and all,

I'm not much of a manager, but will be happy to help as much as I can
with technical input.

[Asif Saif Uddin]

Hi,

I believe I can help in project management and some technical help with my 3 failed attempt to get selected as gsoc student in django project. I can share my experience from my failures :)

Hope that would be useful :)

Kind regards,

Asif

Hi everyone,

I am one of the TypedDjango maintainers (https://github.com/sobolevn)

I know there are people who want to work on this project during GSoC.

I want to confirm that I am able and willing to mentor several people.

Cheers!
