Ata mārie!

rdswift: liking Ian Blurton!

mayhem: Drafting a ‘top 10 mistakes gsoc applicants make’ blog post: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xtrS9eAd99x...

I thought for once I would put on my ‘business time’ hat and write something that should drive a bunch of traffic our direction. But also because I think it will be fun to write! I’m sure you have a few great ones?

(it doesn’t have to be 10, of course)

Any pet peeves that gsoc students do, gsoc mentors? (see the lines above for why) lucifer: monkey: akshaaatt: bitmap: reosarevok: yvanzo: outsidecontext: zas

It should already be covered with https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Development/Summer...

There is also https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/help

Thanks yvanzo, a new blog post is to boost us in the current search results

However, we are missing an introduction video, see https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxNYxgaZ...

And for fun

I know but it is a bit late now.

How so?

Contributors apply in March I thought. Maybe I got my timeline wrong

Yes but best applicants look for orgs much earlier.

We can always publish it next year instead 👍️

I appreciate the feedback. I didn’t think that it might be too late - it really might be better to post it next year

I am going to write some now because I am feeling motivated, and it’s fresh in my head :) Not necessarily because it’s the best time (next year I won’t think about it until it’s too late again, for sure)

I really phrased it the wrong way, it would probably have been more effective earlier, but it isn’t actually too late.

and who knows if there is another gsoc?

oof, good point...
