Mentors are a crucial part for a good Summer of Code organization, without a good number of motivated mentors we are unable to do a good Summer of Code for the Maemo community.

==How to become a mentor==

In order to become a mentor, you must have done some contributions for the open source community in general, you can be a Maemo community person, or you can be from other community's that produce software that Maemo use (eg. Gnome, BlueZ, Telepathy, Mozilla, etc.). People that develop project to Maemo (eg. Maemo mapper, Canola, liqbase, etc.) are encouraged to become mentors, proposing also ideas for their project.

To become a mentor you only need to show your interest in participating in GSoC, send a mail to vdv100 at gmail dot com, with your name, maemo.org nickname (if you have one), your areas of expertise and if you participated in the past in GSoC as a mentor or student send informations about your participation too.

If you have some project ideas just add it to the [[GSoC 2009/Project ideas|ideas page]].

==Mentor expectations==

* Mentors are expected to spend some time assisting the assigned students, the mentors should respond to the students questions as faster as possible;
* Mentors are expected to be patients with their students, keep the students in the project schedule and motivating the student when difficulties arise;
* Mentors should know at any time the current status of the projects of their assigned students.

==Benefits of GSoC for Mentors==

* Chance to help the Maemo Community and the projects around Maemo;
* Get some student labor in your "pet" projects;
* Receive some goodies (Book, t-shirt);
* Receive some money;
