Hi, Are there any guidelines related to communication between students and mentors during GSoC? Many participating organisations and projects do explicitly recommend that student/mentor communication is conducted via public channels. e.g. https://docs.moodle.org/dev/GSOC """ Note: With regards to the communication culture in the Moodle project: We always prefer transparent communication in public forums and tracker comments over private messages and emails. Please respect this and avoid contacting GSOC admins and mentors directly unless you really need to talk about something sensitive or personal. """ or at least regular/weekly reports to dedicated and project-specific list https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_Recommendations_for_Studen... Would it be possible to ask for similar transparent mode during Boost GSoC? I do realise one challenge is that Boost mailing list traffic could increase a lot, too much for some subscribers. Perhaps a solution to that could be setting up dedicated lists: gsoc@lists.boost.org or even <library>@lists.boost.org Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
