We have an alternative idea. SciRuby still has funds, so we could give
$2,000 stipend for a project. Encourage them to write a proposal and
do some early commit(s) to the project and we can make it a formal
SciRuby stipend they can add to their CV. We gain by getting some work
done and showing that on the website as 2-3 BLOGs or so.
How does that sound?
Main thing is that a talented student finds a willing project and
mentor. We can approve the project as a group here. If we get multiple
projects like this in a year we can also do give a SciRuby award for
the best one.
So the procedure for getting a stipend is:
1. Write a project proposal as a markdown doc in your public project repo (applicant + mentor)
2. Have a few code commits by applicant to the project (or SciRuby general)
3. Mentor applies for stipend through the mailing list here
4. SciRuby community approves project
We are carefully not setting any further constraints. Note that
applicant does not have to be a student(!). Also there is no time
constraint, though it is considered a learning exercise and I would
aim for 2-3 months as a mentor to get a significant contribution. As
a target:
5. Mentor approves project results
6. At least 2 BLOGs need to be produced for the SciRuby website (half
way and at the end) by applicant + mentor.
7. Payment to applicant will most likely be handled through Payoneer
where we have an account.
Finally, in case of conflict between applicant and mentor the current
SciRuby admins will act as arbiters. Their word is final. We should
also have a Code-of-Conduct. We'll take the one on our GSoC
application.
If we all like this idea we'll update the website with this
information.
