gsoc mentor summit
Hi, The gsoc mentor summit organizing is getting started. Do any fellow mentors want to travel there? http://gsoc-wiki.osuosl.org/index.php/2011 Stefan PS: I vaguely remember that we once had a separate mailing list for gsoc stuff like that, but I can't find it, only Dan Kegel's old wine-gsoc-2007 list.

I'd be interested if there's a space going free. We just get to send 2 mentors though as I understand it? Cheers, -- Owen Rudge http://www.owenrudge.net/

Whoever does go, I'll be happy to meet. I'm just down the road at Google. --Juan

Any further thoughts on this from any of the other mentors? It looks like the latest date to officially confirm things is the 30th September, but we probably want to figure things out before then to sort out travel, etc. -- Owen Rudge http://www.owenrudge.net/

That's how Roderick and I handled it 2 years ago...
fyi, Bradley writes the following missive, which I am just relaying: --- TL;DR Version: *Now* is the time for all your org-admins to be in touch with Conservancy. Please make sure that org-admins (a) read everything below, (b) get in touch with me right away, and (c) talk to me directly before doing things regarding POs and other funds with Google. Full Version: This year, there are seven Conservancy projects in the SoC: Boost Evergreen Git Inkscape Samba Selenium Wine I hope you all have had an excellent summer mentoring your students and all has gone well. Upon the seen ding of Carol's email that I quoted in part below, we've reached the moment in the SoC process where Conservancy gets involved. Namely, when invoices to Google need to happen RSN. I don't actually have on file the email addresses of all your org-admins in the SoC this year. So, this email may not be relevant to everyone receiving it. However, if you could email me back each and tell me who your org-admin is, I'd much appreciate it, and I'll redirect this email to that person. I want to make you aware of three important things: (a) If some of you are going to the Mentor Summit, and are having trouble prepaying for your flights due to lack of personal funds: Carol Smith wrote on the 25th of July:
All orgs pay for plane tickets ahead of time and then request reimbursement via invoice against the PO once you have receipts for the flights.
Then let me know and I'll see if Conservancy can help by prepaying for you, pending the reimbursement from Google. (b) I should have emailed you sooner, but I want to remind you that we'll do an omnibus PO with Google for all mentor payments and all travel reimbursements. I'd appreciate if the org-admins could get in touch with me right away so we can begin coordinating this. Please keep me in the loop on anything you do with regard to PO details with Google and the like. I'm also in touch with Carol Smith at Google in parallel to this thread, to make sure we're all coordinated. In particular, get me travel receipts as early as possible for all those going to the Mentor Summit. (c) Oh, and I *really* encourage you all to take advantage of the mentor summit invitation. Flight/hotel is funded by Google, and it'll be a great chance for us to meet up as Conservancy projects. I'll be there as well, so I look forward to seeing you there! -- Bradley M. Kuhn, Executive Director, Software Freedom Conservancy --- Cheers, Jeremy
