Google Code-In 2019

[Federico Capoano]

Hi everyone,

we are applying again as a mentoring organization for the Google Code-In 2019.

This year I want to propose that our main goals should be:

- train as many students as we can, with the goal that they may become mentors in the future

- keep improving OpenWISP and fixing bugs

- improve the work done during GSoC by our GSoC students

- improve our documentation further (although in my experience it's pretty hard for new students to write good docs)

What do you think about these? Is there anything you would add or remove?

I want to put particular importance on the first point, because one of the main complaints given by our students in the past editions was the number of available mentors. If we can increase the amount of competent mentors, we will be able to train more students and multiply our impact on Open Source.

If you're interested in participating as a mentor, please fill this form:

I submitted the mentor application.  Looking forward to helping out.

This looks great.

Do you have backed-up tasks from last year? I think that'll help us build the basic tasks like "install linux".

Hello World, 

Federico I Love the points you've given especially point one.

[Federico Capoano]

I did download the data, but I didn't upload it anywhere and I lost my data (laptop was stolen..). We will have to use the GCI archive: https://codein.withgoogle.com/archive/2018/organization/6193692746448896/task/

I will ask now the GCI support if I can get a CSV export of that in any way.

[Marco Cappellacci]

Hi!

I agree with all your points.

I'm really busy at work but I'll do everything I can to give my support.

Thank you!

Hi Federico,

I agree with your points. But why not rather focus on good students
instead of trying to train many students?

I can't participate as a mentor, though. I was not happy with the effort
I could come up with (due to time constraints) the last time. So I'd
rather not participate as a mentor at all than participate with little
impact.

I'm happy if I can contribute code as part of my work and provide
assistance in the chat and on the mailing list. But in my free time, I
don't really have time currently to do productive open source stuff
because of family life.

I hope you understand that.

Greetings,
Oliver

Hi, 

Just filled out the mentor form. Looking forward to it. I like the idea and , of course would want to utilise my time mentoring students. Can devote around 15-20 hours per week

I think as an organization we should be fair, I'm not sure we can decide to prioritize some students over others, it doesn't something that would make all the students happy.

Natural selection will do its course anyway.

Sure I understand that, your contribution was very helpful anyway, and I thank you very much for that.

[Federico Capoano]

We've been accepted as a mentoring organization!

We have to get started working on the tasks.

Those of you who have already been selected as mentors and have ideas can start adding them in the task idea list.

For the rest who want to participate with us as mentors, please fill the mentor application form:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSczt_VDztWZ7ZYnuoZoNpdIjWXiTH2iVFShLzeZs1Vi0DmGcg/viewform 

Thanks!

I have already filled the form days ago but haven't received any mail regarding confirmation or rejection. Should I assume I am not selected as mentor?

No, that email is yet to be send to mentors who have applied.

However, I suggest you to work on the openwisp modules because past contribution is a great indictor and can help your application.

Forgive me as I have expressed myself incorrectly. Is not that some mentors have been already selected, some people have already mentored with us, did well and they have been already invited as admins. This year we have a group of 5 organization admins, but no invited mentor yet.

We will select the mentors in the coming weeks.

Best regards

Thank you for clarifying.

Hi,

Python 2 is about to retire on Januray 2020, I think GCI is a great time to add 

tasks to drop the support of python 2 everywhere, what do you guys think?

Best,

Ajay Tripathi

[Ajay Tripathi]

I also remember the discussion about using Python black: https://github.com/psf/black

Looks like we can add tasks for that as well, let me know your thoughts. 


Ajay

[A Stanley]

+1 for black. Using it for Nornir.

I second the idea, we only have to keep in mind that when we discussed the idea at the beginning of 2019 we concluded we should familiarize with the tool before starting to add tasks for it, the main reason is that if we mentors don't know the tool well we will not be very useful in guiding students on implementing it in our process.

Hi, hope you'll are doing well.
I was a Student Developer in the Google Summer of Code 2019 with INCF and am eager to apply for mentoring Google Code in 2019 projects.
Could you please point me the right way?
Thank you!

[SHASHIBHUSHAN SINGH]

I have idea regarding adding task in GCI like blockchains and Machine learning. If you are looking for such project in OpenWISP we can discuss in details.

Hi,

For all the folks applying to be mentors: It is important for potential mentors 

to have the knowledge of OpenWISP. Cat from Google: "People with no

existing participation in the project should not be chosen as mentors. -- Cat"
It's even in our docs: http://openwisp.io/docs/developer/google-code-in.html#how-can-i-apply-as-mentor

In order to let Natural selection run it's course, do you think it's a good idea that we should have more tasks related to our codebase than tasks like "Install Linux", "Learn Django". I mean, I see the importance of some instances of simple tasks but if we focus on codebase related tasks I think it'll be more inviting for students we are targeting for -- students who are interested in coding and can be future mentors.

Best,
Ajay Tripathi

Very good idea, Ajay. I second this.

Hey!
I deeply agree with the points you said, and am especially interested in guiding
Budding developers too. I am a member of the Coding Club at Indian Institute of Information Technology,
Vadodara. I have filled the mentorship form, looking forward to your response.

Hello. I am a student of Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara. I totally agree with all the points you mentioned and they do cover all the aspects. I am interested in contributing and helping my peers grow.

[Anagha Mittal]

Hi! 

I would love to help everyone as a mentor and want to contribute in working towards all the points stated. As an engineer, I know about many difficulties that come across the way so wish to help as much as I can.

[Adithya Anilkumar]

 Hello,

 I have submitted the mentorship form for google code-in. I would love to contribute towards openwisp.  Looking forward to helping participants and looking forward to learn a lot form this program.

[Leafthanded]

Hello OpenWisp, I hope with the 2019 google code-in event I get a lot of lessons like: 1. Python code conventions 2. Javascript code conventions 3. OpenWRT related conventions
and I hope to participate with OpenWisp this year.
