-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'd like to propose a process, let's work through any ideas and fixes to it. At this point mentors need to be communicating with students about their proposals via the Melange tool. The goal is to help students get their proposals to be as good as possible. We are not accepting/denying any proposals at this point. Mentors need to rank and finalize the list for slot requests by 13 April, so let's make the deadline for that 10 April. This will include accepting top proposals, ranking them in order of quality, as that will help determine how many student slots we get. Mentors should be watching for how students communicate and respond around the proposals. This is an indication of how well they will fit in working in an open source project. Of course, there is always a lot to learn, and the mentors should be showing the students how to act in an open source project. The mentors need to decide ourselves how we want to do the final ranking of proposals and request for student slots. My thinking here is: 1. Mentors discuss on their private list about the ranking. 2. If we can't come to a clear consensus, then the admins (Jeff & I) can have 1:1 discussions with the mentors. 3. Then admins propose a final ranking to the mentors. 4. Discuss and come to consensus. Lars has suggested that we start with step 2 to avoid conflict of interest in the ranking. Any other ideas or thoughts there?
