This is also a good place to ask questions related to ScummVM or ResidualVM and get help.</div><div class=""> </div><div class="">Other than that, just stick around and get stuck into your projects and our codebases in general, ask any questions you might have and take an active stance in the community, read and learn. You are very welcome to get into coding but you’re not actually required to do it before June the 1st. However, please take into account your schedule, and if you have plans to start working earlier because of your availability, you are more than welcome.</div><div class=""> </div><div class="">Each project has a core mentoring team with the rest of the GSoC team providing support.</div><div class=""> </div><div class="">Your mentoring team are the primary points of contact for your project and it is recommended that you ensure that all your mentors are aware of all correspondence and progress as you work on your project. So make sure to always copy both your mentors when sending an email. Your mentoring team are also the ones responsible for evaluations at various points during the programme - but don't let this stop you from making the most of them by asking for help and guidance. Their /primary/ concern is helping you succeed in your project.</div><div class=""> </div><div class="">Projects and the mentoring teams are listed below:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Student: Nathanael Gentry (npjg on Discord)</div><div class="">Task: Macromedia Director<br class=""></div><div class="">Mentors: Eugene Sandulenko (sev on Discord, <a href="mailto:sev@scummvm.org" target="_blank" class="">sev@scummvm.org</a>), Arnaud Boutonné (Strangerke on Discord, <a href="mailto:strangerke@scummvm.org" target="_blank" class="">strangerke@scummvm.org</a>)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Student: Dylan Servilla (djsrv on Discord)</div><div class="">Task: Macromedia Director</div><div class="">Mentors: Eugene Sandulenko (sev on Discord, <a href="mailto:sev@scummvm.org" target="_blank" class="">sev@scummvm.org</a>), Arnaud Boutonné (Strangerke on Discord, <a href="mailto:strangerke@scummvm.org" target="_blank" class="">strangerke@scummvm.org</a>)<br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class="">Student: Aryan Rawlani (aryanrawlani28 on Discord)<br class=""></div></div><div class="">Task: Unicode and BiDi support for GUI & Move Detection features to the main executable</div><div class="">Mentors: John Willis (DJWillis on Discord, <a href="mailto:djwillis@scummvm.org" target="_blank" class="">djwillis@scummvm.org</a>), Eugene Sandulenko (sev on Discord, <a href="mailto:sev@scummvm.org" target="_blank" class="">sev@scummvm.org</a>)<br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div></div><div class=""></div></div><div class=""></div><div class="">Student: Gunnar Birke (Fury on Discord)<br class=""></div></div><div class="">Task: Wintermute 3D to ResidualVM</div><div class="">Mentors: Einar Johan Trøan Sømåen (somaen on Discord, <a href="mailto:somaen@scummvm.org" target="_blank" class="">somaen@scummvm.org</a>), Paweł Kołodziejski (aquadran on Discord, <a href="mailto:aquadran@scummvm.org" target="_blank" class="">aquadran@scummvm.org</a>)<br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div></div><div class="">Additionally, other members of the team will help with mentoring duties as needed and cover for each other to ensure you always have an active mentor throughout the programme.
