Re: Summer of Code Zurich ETH (Fwd: looking for a guest speaker from Google Zürich)

[Seon-Wook Park]

Hello Iurii,

I'd prefer to have a short time-slot after the main presentation,

Thanks, I've added a slide for you at the end of the presentation. This presentation can be found at http://goo.gl/QMhU9d

This is just to keep it consistent in presentation with the other GSoC testimonials.

Also, I think it's a great idea to have a small Q&A session afterwards, to let the students ask their own questions to all of us.

Yes, this is a good idea.

To everyone: The slides layout and structure are now solidifying. Please voice any concerns as soon as possible!

Best,

Wookie / Seon-Wook

I'd prefer to have a short time-slot after the main presentation, so I'll be able to cover the gaps in the main presentation with stories and notes from my experience with the program. Depending on the time you'd have total, 10-20 minutes would be enough.

Also, I think it's a great idea to have a small Q&A session afterwards, to let the students ask their own questions to all of us.

>Also, would any of you mind if I cc in the gsoc-ch mailing list? I think we should keep them in the loop.

sure.

Hi Iurii,

thanks for the reply. Your experiences with talks and any suggestion you have are very much appreciated :)
Your topics fit also perfectly, since at the moment we are covering mostly student experiences.

btw sorry about the name ;)

Hello, Sabina

I can talk about my experience of being a student, and how I moved from being a student to being a mentor and open-source contributor. Also, I can talk about how we [The Battle for Wesnoth project] select the students and what we expect of them (as this is different for each org, it'll be a new perspective).

I have some experience giving those talks (I had 2 trips and 4 talks total, telling the students in my home country about the summer of code).

P.S. name's iurii, with an 'i', don't worry, it's a common mistake

Hi Wolf,

thanks!
Maybe you, Lurii and Seon need to coordinate a bit the introduction (from student and Google point of view).

In the second part of the talk, we are presenting student project showcases.
Would be nice if you can have a slide or two on being an official mentor.

Students will love the stickers ;)

Hi Sabina,

I can talk a bit about the background and the whole process,  and what the open source projects expect from students,  and such. I've never been a student myself,  though,  but I have mentored several.

Stickers and such,  I think I can bring some :-)

Dear Wolf and Lurii,

thanks a lot for the interest!

You can follow the preparations for the talk on the forum: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/gsoc-ch
Have a look at the slides mock-up. To which part would you like to contribute?

Btw, would you be able to provide some Google or GSOC stickers for advertising?

Thanks you very much!

Sabina

Yes 11 Dec. works for me. I'm in. :)

It would be cool if Iurii could also make it, since I've never been a GSoC student. But I suppose I can answer questions about that too as I have have mentored quite a few students. Also it would be nice to not be alone :P

Hey Rob, 

that would be fantastic! the date is now fix: 11 december, 7-9 pm, ETH E33.3. 

We have set up a discussion forum with all the info here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!forum/gsoc-ch

It would be great if the people interested can present themselves there and tell us what they would like to speak about.
Topics that we are trying to cover are:

* what is Google Summer of Code
* why does Google organize it

* student experiences
* mentor experiences
* why coding for open source organization is fun ;)

We are currently in the process of organizing the talk structure and the event advertisement.

I include Seon, since he is the offical organizer of the event.

Cheers,
Sabina

It sounds wonderful, but as I'm currently in Romania (and just was in

GSoC, a trip to Zurich in December isn't in the cards for me. But
please do pass along the flyers and presentations for whoever does it!
