<div class="moz-cite-prefix">great to hear so. After you read this:

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">you might want to start with some
newcomer issues:

<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Or pick whatever annoys you in the Xfce
software you use. Best start with fixing bugs /dont go for new
features directly.</div>

</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">If there are questions, best ask on the
IRC channel #xfce-dev</div>

<div>Hey Sergios and Andre,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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>Better like this than us, suffering from open source
burnout !</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So let's try to tidy up leftovers this year. If things
go fine, we can reconsider for GSoC 2024.</div>

<div>Cheers, Alex<br>

<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>

<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>Best regards,<br>
