First of all, we have an internal rule that GSoC students have 2 mentors and not only one, for the highest possible availability. | |||
Then, we want our mentors to have the following qualities: | |||
- Be volunteer and be able to commit to participating for the entire duration of the program. They have to be available to their students and the mentor team. | |||
- Have a considerable track record hacking on ScummVM or ResidualVM. They can help the students more effectively and in an immediate fashion this way. | |||
- Have the patience and skills to explain to their respective students how to tackle their tasks. Also, to be able to help the students out when they are in sticky situations. | |||
- Have a clear vision on how a task should proceed, both in broad strokes as well as in the technical details level, with of course some freedom movement to the students. | |||
- Be regularly present on our #scummvm-gsoc channel, where we continuously inform each others of the progresses and issues of the students. | |||
