At this stage, only mentors are allowed to sign up - student sign-up starts on 1 May. I'm interested in knowing whether anyone in the community is interested in becoming a mentor. I'm signed up, but we have to provide at least one backup mentor to cover holidays etc - but of course the more the merrier. I have no idea how many appropriate students will apply and it would be nice to have a little slack if need be. I figure there are quite a few experienced and helpful people here in the forum who would be very appropriate mentors - please step forward if you think you can.
Mentor FAQ
The mentoring organisation (OGRE) gets a slice of the funds too, which will be used to fund the site and perhaps (if we get a few students) an OSX machine since we're a bit lacking in that area. I'm also very willing to split or redistribute the mentoring fee to mentors who request it and who can give the required amount of time to monitoring a student project.
So, if you've been around OGRE for a little while and want to get involved as a mentor, please just sign up on the Summer of Code site. I'm sure it's a good thing to have on your CV too
