2009-03-05Split time commitment and other activities questions in GSoC student ↵antrik

2009-03-05Reworked mailing list question in GSoC student application formantrik

2009-03-05Merge questions about Hurd project in GSoC student application formantrik
2009-03-05Drop questions about Hurd experience from GSoC student application formantrik

2009-03-05Drop question about how free software projects work from GSoC student ↵antrik
application form The students should have enough chance to get familiar with the process while creating/submitting a patch, required as part of the application process.

2009-03-05Minor rewording is GSoC student application formantrik
2009-03-05Replaced introduction section of GSoC student application formantrik
Aside from rewording in general, we now explicitely demand that students contact us during the application period -- instead of just suggesting that they will really need to do so in order to properly answer the questions, and hoping that they take the hint... It is important that they contact us, and there is really no reason not to demand it explicitely. Also, introducing explicit patch requirement. (Instead of just asking for some "exercises" through the feedback form after they submit their applications...) Generally, we try to be much more clear about our expectations up front. This should make our work much easier when giving feedback for the applications. Also it should result in better applications -- and more happy students...
2009-03-05Drop note about size limit of GSoC student application formantrik
The FAQ for this year no longer explicitely mentions a limit -- although it still talks about external links... Let's assume there is no limit anymore.

2009-02-25GSoC application: Higher expectations regarding student communicationantrik
2009-02-24Don't have list of GSoC mentors for this year yet...antrik
2009-02-24Simplified answer to license question in GSoC applicationantrik
2009-02-24Describe 2008 GSoC participation in application formantrik
Also adapted question about no previous participation...
2009-02-24Mention getting long-term contributors as primary goal of GSoC participationantrik
This will probably make the Google folks happy, as this is officially the main purpose of the GSoC program... More importantly, past experience shows that even very skilled students are seldom able to leave a project in such a state that it is really useful for us without any followup work -- treating GSoC as a way to get code written by means of external sponsoring doesn't really work out. Finding long-term contributors is *much* more useful in the end.
