Now Accepting GSoC 2016 Mentor Organization Applications

[sttaylor]

Hello everyone,

We are now accepting applications from open source projects interested in participating as mentor organizations for Google Summer of Code 2016.

Visit our new website to apply as an organization today. For helpful tips on what is expected as a mentor organization and as a mentor or org admin for GSoC 2016 read the Mentor Manual.

One person from your Org must act as an Organization Administrator and submit the application for your organization. The organization application process consists of 3 parts:

1. Application -- answering straightforward questions about why your org would like to mentor students in GSoC

2. Organization Profile -- details about your organization that will be used to attract students to your organization (short and long descriptions of your org, contact methods, etc.)

3. There must be at least 2 Organization Administrators per org. The Org Admin who creates the application will need to invite another person to be the 2nd Org Admin and that person will need to accept the invitation in order for this requirement to be met.

Once these 3 sections are completed your application is done (you can see your progression on the site with the % complete visual).  You can continue to edit your application until the deadline.

Deadline to submit your Organization Application: Friday, February 19 at 19:00 UTC. Be sure to look at the timeline for more important dates for the program.

We will not accept late applications under any circumstances.

Good luck to all org applicants!

Best,

Stephanie Taylor

Hi

> Once these 3 sections are completed your application is done (you can see your progression on the site with the % complete visual).  You can continue to edit your application until the deadline.

We try to apply for paticipation and have completed the three steps. Application Progress shows 100%. But on the top of the page still says:

"CROSS Solution application

CROSS Solution has not completed its application yet. Follow the three steps below."

Is this normal, or do we have done something wrong?

Regards,

Carsten

Hello,

Do potential mentors also need to register with Google right now? Or does that happen later?

Hi Sameer,

Later. First we have to accept the orgs. You can't apply to be a mentor at random - you need to already be involved with one of the accepted mentoring orgs as an active contributor.

Cheers,

Cat
