<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hey Sergios and Andre,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">yea, I can totally understand ... there
is as well that real-life thing :) So looks like Xfce does not
need to apply for GSoC this year.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Better like this than us, suffering
from open source burnout !</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">So let's try to tidy up leftovers this
year. If things go fine, we can reconsider for GSoC 2024.</div>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I'm also unable to be a mentor this year. I have way more
things to do than I have time and I still haven't touched last
year's contributions (which need quite a bit of work to be
considered finished).</p>
<p>I guess that this means that Xfce will not take part in GSoC
2023, but that might be for the best. It's time to cleanup what
we already have!</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Sergios<br>

<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

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>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>
