We begin by inviting people who had some GSoC experience. The majority of our mentors are formerly GSoC students and mentors. We think that previous GSoC experience is an important factor in the success of GSoC.
There are also some newcomers who show enthusiasm in GSoC. Due their proven track record within our organization, they can also become mentors.
Our backup mentors are Maemo community members who are very active and respected within the community. They also possess a proven track record in the open source world. A few of them even have some experience in GSoC.
All of our mentors are strongly motivated and will help our community reach our GSoC goals. We desire to provide a pleasant summer of code to the students that we host.
