Hi Boost community,
we are recruiting the mentors for the Google Summer of Code 2020. If you wish to be a mentor, please contact me directly and I'll send you an invite.
We need at least 10 mentors this year. Obviously, a mentor comes with ideas of projects and proposals for this Summer.
Best regards, David
Hmmmm - mentors get paid? This is the first time I heard of this. I did it a couple of years ago and didn't get paid. I did get invited to an "unconference" at google. It was kind of interesting to see the google campus. And I was very impressed with the quality of free food available seemingly on demand. I couldn't help but wonder if google employees are overweight. Also - I was under the impression that ideas for projects and proposals came not from mentors but from applicants and that this was the basis for accepting/rejecting proposals. Just curious about this. Robert Ramey
