Hi everyone!
My name is Igor Wilbert and I'm a computer science student from Brazil. You might have seen a previous post I made asking about how to apply to GSOC 2019 as a student. I was looking for the rules to apply as a mentor but I couldn't find much. I thought it would be nice to make some sort of FAQ for those interested in being mentors for GSOC too. Sorry if these questions are answered somewhere else, I just couldn't find it. Can anyone help me answering these questions?
1 - Does anyone from BEAM Community can be a mentor?
2 - Is there a place where people can put their names as potential mentors (maybe separated by project)?
3 - Are there any technical background requirements for being a mentor (I suppose yes, since their help is very important for the students)?
4 - Is there any application form or something similar you have to fill to become a mentor? If yes, what are the deadlines?
Thanks!
Igor
