what is the criteria to ask for an optional or mandatory slot (if the
mandatory are the minimal numbers and the optionals are the difference
max-min. LibertyEiffel for example really wants to have 2 slots, but we
have given 1 as minimum and 2 as maximum, to be fair to the other
projects under the GNU umbrella in case not all optional slots are
granted, by allowing a prioritization.
The system we use every year in order to allocate slots is the
following:
1. Each participating GNU project expresses how many "essential" slots
and "desired" slots they want. This year Google changed a bit the
program and these are now called "minimum" and "maximum" slots, but
it is still the same concept, just different names. It is up to each
GNU program to decide how many slots to ask for, based on the number
of good proposals and available mentors.
2. We (the GNU org admins) add everything and ask google for a total
number of desirable and essential slots for GNU. Like, for example,
this year it will be 19 essential slots and 24 desired slots. Let's
call them TotalEssential and TotalDesired.
3. Google gives us a number N of slots, that could be any number 0..24.
4. We then distribute the obtained slots using the following criteria:
4.a If N == TotalDesired, then perfect, everyone gets what they asked
for. This happened in the last 6 editions of the program and is
the most likely scenario.
4.b If TotalEssential <= N < TotalDesired then everyone get their
essential slots. The rest of the slots will be distributed as
evenly as possible among the projects.
4.c If N < TotalEssential, then we will distribute the slots as
evenly as possible among the projects, making sure (if possible)
that every participating project get at least one slot.
Note that in the potentially conflicting scenarios (4.b and 4.c) the org
admins have the last word on how to assign slots to projects.
