Since 2007, ScummVM participated almost each year to the Google Summer of Code. Ths gave us the opportunity to mentor 54 students over the years. 45 of them were successful at the end of the summer, and some of them even stayed as developers and even mentors after this program. | |||
Even if technical writers are working on a completely different aspect of the project, we are confident we will be able to mentor them properly based on our professional experience and on our GSoC experience. | |||
