I’ll go ahead and register. I really don’t want to mentor overseas people though — indeed I really only want to work with students who are able to meet in person at least once or twice during the period and over phone/skype at regular intervals. The rationale here is more about my ability to be an effective mentor than anything I have against remote workers in particular — the past few times I’ve mentored I just think I’ve not been effective at helping my students.</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div> <div id="bloop_sign_1392311711635949056" class="bloop_sign"><div style="font-family:helvetica,arial;font-size:13px">-- <br>Garrett D'Amore<br>Sent with Airmail</div></div> <br><p style="color:#A0A0A8;">On February 13, 2014 at 9:14:40 AM, Albert Lee (<a href="mailto://trisk@nexenta.com">trisk@nexenta.com</a>) wrote:</p> <blockquote type="cite" class="clean_bq"><span><div><div>

We have about 24 hours to decide whether we are going to do GSoC
this year.
<div><br></div>
<div>Do we have mentoring volunteers and a coordinator willing to
do so, and with sufficient time? I can mentor someone in So
Cal, but experience is that most candidates for GSoC come from
overseas.</div>

<div>After talking to others, I've been convinced that it's a good
idea to continue participating this year, and I'm willing to be the
organisation admin provided we try to size projects appropriately
to account for risk, testing and review. I'm working on the
application.<br></div>
<div><br>
If anyone has strong objections let me know. If OI is interested in
applying as well we should coordinate to see if a combined
application is appropriate. Slots can be divided amongst the
respective mentors.<br>
<br>
Gordon has volunteered as a mentor.<br>
