GSoC 2009/Mentors

Mentors are one of the 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 be 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,...). People that develop project to Maemo (eg. Maemo mapper, Canola, liqbase,...) are encouraged to become a mentor, 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 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 ideas page.
