<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi everybody,<div>this year Google wants to test the GSoC software *before* the actual GSoC, over a period of 2 weeks. They need volunteers who will act as "virtual" admins, mentors, students. To look for issues and report them; and ideally, to also provide fixes (they promise fun goodies as reward ;).</div><div><br></div><div>Both GSoC veterans and people who never participated in GSoC in any way are welcome. This is a great opportunity to get the system to know if you haven't seen it already.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Max<br><div><br><div>Anfang der weitergeleiteten E-Mail:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>Von: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Lennard de Rijk <<a href="mailto:ljvderijk@gmail.com">ljvderijk@gmail.com</a>></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" color="#000000" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #000000"><b>Datum: </b></font><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">13.

We have been working hard in the last couple of months to make improvements to the system. As requested during last years mentor summit we will be organizing a GSoC testing period in which we will go through all the important steps in the GSoC timeline in 2 weeks. This will help us to fully test the system and get some early feedback.</div> <div><br></div><div>Not only will we be thankful for your participation during these two weeks but you will also have the community's thanks for helping us improve Melange.</div><div><div><br></div><div>We will be hosting this testing period from the 22nd of February till the 7th of March on [0]. The timeline for this testing period is as follows:</div> <div><br></div></div></div><div><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse"><div><div><div>22-25 February: Org Applications period</div><div>26 February: Org Applications processed, Organization profiles need to be generated by the users.</div> <div>27 February-3 March: Student Applications period</div><div>3 March: Slots assignment and duplication finding is tested</div><div>4 March: Student projects created</div><div>5-6 March: Project surveys are filled in</div> <div>7 March: Project surveys are processed</div><div><br></div></div><div>You can help us out by fulfilling either the role of org admin/mentor or student and report anything that you find broken on [1]. However since this project is open source, and used by coders!, we would be more than grateful if you would submit patches for your problems. So grateful actually that Google has promised never-seen-before Summer of Code swag to be sent to those persons that help us out. Not only that, but this is an <i>excellent</i> opportunity for those communities that have not yet participated in Summer of Code before to demonstrate that they have time and energy to devote to helping the community overall.</div> <div><br></div></div><div><div style="color:rgb(80, 0, 80)"><div><font color="#000000">Greetings,</font></div><div><font color="#000000">Lennard de Rijk</font></div><div><font color="#000000">Melange Project Lead</font></div> </div></div></span></div></span><div><div></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse;color:rgb(80, 0, 80)"><div><font color="#000000">[0] </font><a href="http://melange-dev.appspot.com/" style="color:rgb(0, 101, 204)" target="_blank">http://melange-dev.appspot.com/</a></div> <div><font color="#330000">[1]</font> <a href="http://code.google.com/p/soc/issues" style="color:rgb(0, 101, 204)" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/soc/issues</a></div></span></div></div></span><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div> -- <br> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "melange-soc" group.<br> To post to this group, send email to <a href="mailto:melange-soc@googlegroups.com">melange-soc@googlegroups.com</a>.<br> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to <a href="mailto:melange-soc+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com">melange-soc+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com</a>.<br> For more options, visit this group at <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/melange-soc?hl=en">http://groups.google.com/group/melange-soc?hl=en</a>.<br> </blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
