<div>Hi Alex,<br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks for all organizing GSoC once more, lots of work but it does help Xfce immensely.<br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">It's also completely understandable you prefer to be "just" an admin. This year I also don't intend to be a mentor, not because it's tiresome or stressful or anything bad, in fact I had a good mentoring experience last year, it's just because I'm trying to better manage my time (not too much on Xfce nor leave the project completely).</div><div><br></div><div dir="auto">I'm sorry for not stepping up this time, but I can definitely help with reviews, permissions, etc :)<br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div>Cheers,<br></div><div>Andre Miranda<br></div><div><br></div><div>Jan 10, 2023, 11:11 by acs82@gmx.de:<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><div>Hi all,<br></div><div><br></div><div>this year I plan to do a break from GSOC mentoring .. time to tidy up<br></div><div>leftovers of the last two GSoC years and get some private projects done.<br></div><div><br></div><div>However I would be willing to be a Xfce org admin again, doing all the<br></div><div>administrative stuff.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I as well would be fine with being a backup mentor, if some other mentor<br></div><div>should be sick or something.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>My plan would be to register Xfce for GSoC 2023 on end of January [1] ..<br></div><div>though of course that only makes sense if we have people which want to<br></div><div>mentor for Xfce.<br></div><div><br></div><div>For GSoC 2022 the project-time-frame and project-size was very flexible.<br></div><div>I suppose mentoring took me an average of ~2hours a week from May till<br></div><div>November.<br></div><div><br></div><div>While some mentors do regular video calls with the contributors, I<br></div><div>preferred to just chat with them via IRC and on gitlab issues/MR's or<br></div><div>via email, which as well worked fine.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Generally I can say that GSoC mentoring is a nice way for getting things<br></div><div>done, and to lure people into Xfce-development :) Though it for sure<br></div><div>will eat some of your time.<br></div><div><br></div><div>If you are interested, you will need to define some possible projects<br></div><div>from which GSoC applicants can pick from. See [2] as an example.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Xfce mentors will receive $500 per participant as "mentor stipend".<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>So if you are interested in mentoring for Xfce, please let me know !<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Alex(xcons)<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>[1]: Timeline for GSoC 2023:<br></div><div>https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline?hl=en<br></div><div><br></div><div>[2] Xfce GSoC 2022 project list:<br></div><div>https://wiki.xfce.org/projects/gsoc/start#project_ideas<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div>Xfce4-dev mailing list<br></div><div>Xfce4-dev@xfce.org<br></div><div>https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce4-dev<br></div></blockquote><div dir="auto"><br></div> </body>
