5th year Google Summer of Code
2005 – 6 projects 2006 – 8 projects 2007 – 10 projects 2008 – 15 projects and...
18 projects accepted!
Lessons learned (mentor version) •
Let the student make a plan before start
•
Talk every week on work at hand, and work planned next week, keep a constant eye on the schedule
•
As mid-term approached (6-12 July), make sure coding starts in time (23 May according to Google, but start earlier on if possible!
•
Summer hollidays are parallel with SoC...students will dissapear, and re-emerge!
•
No code during mid-term = 100% failure in the end
•
An active way motivating involvement is to let the students actively blog
•
The ambition level of every project so far has proven to be to high, accept lesser work completed, better some stages finished well then have nothing in the end
•
Some students are new to open source, make sure they understand the do's and don't in FOSS projects
•
Always remember this should be a learning expierence by students!
Lessons learned (student version) •
Plan first, then act! See also mentor remarks
•
Handle SoC as a full time job, you are getting payed ;-)
•
Time needed to complete code is always short, start soon and set reasonable milestones
•
You mentor is there to help, use their knowledge!
•
Use the tools provided to interact with other mentors and students (Skype chat is a good source)
•
No code = fail mid/end-term, no code at mid-term is also fail, make sure to start coding and go through the results at least once per 2 weeks with your mentor
•
Learn from others, there are plenty of examples out there
•
If you use work from others, make sure you add a comment
