# Internships, Outreachy, GSoC et al
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Motivation
|
||
|
|
* prevent Guix becoming a niche project
|
||
|
|
* attracting new people, increase audience...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Internships
|
||
|
|
* GSoC isn't financally attractive for students as in the past
|
||
|
|
* doing our own summer of code -> funding is available
|
||
|
|
* successes of the past are a bit forgotten -> some where extremly successful
|
||
|
|
* GNU project no longer an umbrella organization -> we need to apply for ourself
|
||
|
|
* organizations can apply for GSoC 2023 until 2023-02-07 -> we don't do it this year
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Outreachy
|
||
|
|
* winter 2023/24
|
||
|
|
* problem: Outreachy doesn't accept funding by FSF (RMS story)
|
||
|
|
* need to find a way to do it via Guix Europe -> Andreas could help
|
||
|
|
* we need mentors
|
||
|
|
* we need projects
|
||
|
|
* coordinator for overall organizational stuff
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Ideas
|
||
|
|
* have more than one internship at the same time -> student review code of each other
|
||
|
|
* dedicated IRC channels for intership as done in the past
|
||
|
|
* https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2021
|
||
|
|
* having more then one mentor for a student
|
||
|
|
* paying the mentor (GSoC gives 500$ per mentor)
|
||
|
|
* project should be "small" enough to upstream it during the internship time period
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How to make it resilient?
|
||
|
|
* have post-internship "mentor ship"
|
||
|
|
* offer some "gift" in the aftermath -> e.g. 1 year of a small server for running Guix System
|
||
|
|
* transparently communicate what's going on to the Guix community
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Action plan
