Re: [gnu-soc] [GSOC, IMPORTANT] Ranking proposals in GNU

[Christian Grothoff]

Hi Jose,

For GNU Taler & GNU Anastasis, we'd like to mentor the mutual integration proposal from Amr Abdelhady

(https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/gnu-project/programs/2024/proposals/details/Ac9SnLkn);

Looks like we have 3 mentored proposals on GnuCOBOL, which I cannot rank. We also have 3 mentored proposals

on GNUnet, which Martin will send a ranking for (I hope).  I would ask for the Taler/Anastasis proposal to be 

ranked somewhere on place 2-4 overall depending on how strongly GnuCOBOL feels about their students: this will be 

timely work for us as we need to prepare similar integrations with banks, but also we'll live if it doesn't happen.

My general feeling:

- only 1 student: to GNUnet (gtk4?) or GNU Cobol

- only 2 students: to GNUnet (gtk4?) and GNU Cobol

- 3 students: one for each?

- 4 students: one for each, one extra for cobol or GNUnet

- 5 students: one for each, one extra for cobol and GNUnet (unlikely)

- 6 students: luxury problem, maybe drop GNUnet TNG? (unlikely)

- 7 students: luxury problem, fund all that are mentored (unlikely)

My 2 cents

Christian

Hello participating projects.

At this point you should have received good (or bad) proposals for your
ideas at the GSOC site [1].

Now it is the time for participating organizations to rank the proposals
they would like to accept.  In order to do so, we need to know the
proposals that you (the maintainers of each participating project) would
like to get accepted.

We would like to have a list of ranked proposals by the end of day of
Monday 22 April, so please send to this mailing list the list of
proposals you would like to accept before then.

For each proposal, please make sure:

- That it has at least one mentor assigned to it.
- That you identify it fully and clearly by the full URL in the GSOC
  site.

Tuesday 23 morning we will send a list with a summary of the ranked
proposals to this list.  Then it will be up to Google to decide how many
slots will be given to us this year.

Thanks!
