[SciPy-Dev] GSoC applications - next steps

[Ralf Gommers]

Hi prospective GSoC participants,

The GSoC application deadline is just over a week away, so I thought it'd
be useful to give a short overview of what will happen over the next few
weeks.

Until April 3 we'll do our best to help you write your proposals. Some of
you have already shared a draft proposal; I strongly encourage the rest of
you to do the same. If you have questions, please make them as concrete as
possible (showing that you've done your own reading/research on the topics
helps for getting answers).

The week after proposal submission we'll interview you (over Skype or
Google Hangouts) to help us pick the best applicants. If you are
unavailable that week, please let me know now and we'll try to schedule an
interview earlier (later is difficult, because we need to indicate how many
slots we want to the PSF around the 11th).

You'll find out on May 4th if your application was successful. If so, the
"community bonding" period starts the next day - this is the time to get
more familiar with the project and community: read the developer guide,
start interacting on the mailing list, and ensure you're fully set up to
hit the ground running on May 30th.

April 3: student application deadline
April 4-11: SciPy mentors interview students
May 4: accepted students announced
May 5-30: community bonding period

If you have any questions about this, please do ask!

Cheers,
Ralf
