Just to be clear here, you meant that the centos-gsoc[1] list was going to be used for the GSoC specific content and the gsocadmin[2] list was for the adminstration stuff right ? Thats what we say on the wiki pages[3] and thats my understanding on how things are setup. Lets not move the gsoc specific content to centos-devel if we dont need to. The wiki also talks about a centos-gsoc-mentors at centos.org list, which does not exist. And I dont see any requests for it, do we want to skip that and just use the gsocadmin list for the same scope instead ? > Over the next few days we'll be getting the mentors to join via the > GSoC web app, and quickly spin up how things are going to work.

I'm also going to start reaching out to all the mentors to make sure we have scope and integration points consolidated for all the efforts that ramp up, and make sure we're all integrating, deliverying code etc in a single process ( and finally, make sure that the work scope is relevant for a 3 month dev cycle ). ref: 1) http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-gsoc 2) http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-gsocadmin 3) http://wiki.centos.org/GSoC/HowToApply -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
