Google Summer of Code 2016 - Many new applications
Hi,
tomorrow the student application period will end. Up to now we got 22 applications, where many lokk interesting and some really strange.
Most are for the kernel, many for LSB, and I had also some luck getting 3 for OpenPrinting.
Please everyone of you, have a look whether there are proposals which you like to mentor, click the "WANT TO MENTOR" button on appropriate ones, and remeber the students to complete their applications if they are still marked "incomplete" (they must submit a final PDF). Only complete applications can get accepted and they do not auto-complete at the deadline.
So please remember the students interesting to you to complete their applications to do not loose them.
If you got this e-mail but are not registered as mentor but want to see the applications, please tell me so that I can invite you as mentor. You can read the applications then and step up to mentor a student, but you are not required to mentor a student then.
Note that tomorrow is a national holiday in many countries, so please send out any reminders, comments, ... today.

I've gone through the submitted "kernel" ones so far. I've been working through email with one more student who hopefully will submit their application before the deadline.

Hi,
I see briefly all proposals and suggest the following.
Ignore definitely trash proposals for which we even can't expect anything good:
ABHISHEK KUMAR SINGH - AUTOMATIC GUN FIRING USING ULTRASONIC RADAR - https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/6488763748319232/

So I suggest to ignore them if Greg doesn't mind:
Sandhya - IIO driver - https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/5372313474170880/
Sandhya - memory management latency tracing - https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/5404748865863680/This student creates 3 different applications for 3 different projects without providing any particular details. I see his applications a bit and this doesn't look like he really wants and can to implement something valuable. So I suggest to just ignore his proposals:
Ravike14 - GSOC 2016- The Linux Foundation (Driver Backport) - https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/5414085923438592/

One new proposal just got submitted:
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/6320691074826240/
and I'm willing to mentor it, as long as the "final" application matches up with the draft one. I didn't see anywhere to "star" an application, why do some have that mark and others do not?

You can click the start in the list of applications or click the "STAR" option on the proposal page.
This is to mark if you really want this student/project. Note that it is only for our internal use, Google does not see/use the star settings.

I don't see that option on the proposal page, nor can I click on it on the list. Maybe that's something that you need admin rights for :)

Ok, then I'm not going to worry about it.
Now that the application process is closed, what's our next step here? How do we rank/sort/evaluate them? I don't see the "put a number here" option like we have had in previous years.

Please mark these as "ignored" because they are really not even valid applications:

That should complete all applications in the "kernel" category. There are a bunch of CELF and "QEMU with Rust" applications that I know nothing about, and there doesn't seem to be a category for. I'm assuming someone else is going to review / mentor those.
If there's anything else I need to do here, becides try to find a co-mentor, please let me know.

Generally, a single person can mentor a student, but if something unforeseen happens to a mentor, there is a backup. The backup mentor actually does not need to mentor as long as there is all OK with the primary mentor. He only needs to "WANT TO MENTOR" to later on be able to do the evaluations if the primary mentor is not able to do so.

We have got 4 good proposals in LSB category that make sense to mark with STAR:
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/4529048004853760/
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/6570505653977088/
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/4921876094648320/
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/4646236401434624/
The first one suggests to make improvements in LSB Navigator.
The second proposal is to analyze if data races reported by static analyzer in the kernel are feasible and to suggest fixes for them. The others are related to making improvements in LDV static analyzer to find more bugs in kernel.
We have marked them with "WANT TO MENTOR" flag.
