#Be regularly present on our #scummvm-gsoc channel, where we continuously inform each others of the progresses and issues of the students | #Be regularly present on our #scummvm-gsoc channel, where we continuously inform each others of the progresses and issues of the students | ||
For this year, and this holds for our previous participations too, our mentors have volunteered to work with GSoC. This means that they primarily want to be involved in the program and that they are not dragged in to participate. Moreover, they have all been contributors to ScummVM and/or ResidualVM for several years. They feel comfortable around the current code and can guide students to perform their tasks. The majority of the mentors have also participated in past GSoCs so they know their way around the procedures and have also refined their mentoring style. | For this year, and this holds for our previous participations too, our mentors have volunteered to work with GSoC.

The majority of the mentors have also participated in past GSoCs so they know their way around the procedures and have also refined their mentoring style. Some of them have been GSoC students one of the previous years. Some of them are/have been part of academia, guiding real students. They have seen the student mentalité in-action and have experience helping people along. We are drawing the best available from our pool of developers to mentor GSoC students this year again. | ||
