TO DO

  • Figure out who will be the Organization Administrator (and also need a backup Organization Administrator)
  • List of mentors (and backup mentors)
  • "Mentors for their organizations must at least be committers for the corresponding project and their participation in Google Summer of Code on the organization’s behalf must be approved by the organization administrator via Melange"(from GSOC 2012 FAQ)
  • Make an Ideas list page (proposed student projects or starting points)
  • "An Ideas list should be a list of suggested student projects. This list is meant to introduce contributors to your project's needs and to provide inspiration to would-be student applicants. It is useful to classify each idea as specifically as possible, e.g. "must know Python" or "easier project; good for a student with more limited experience with C++." If your organization plans to provide an application template, it would be good to include it on your Ideas list. Keep in mind that your Ideas list should be a starting point for student applications; we've heard from past mentoring organization participants that some of their best student projects are those that greatly expanded on a proposed idea or were blue-sky proposals not mentioned on the Ideas list at all. A link to a bug tracker for your open source organization is NOT an ideas list."(from GSOC 2012 FAQ)
