We have participated in the GSoC program for five years running, in 2007-2011. | We have participated in the GSoC program for five years running, in 2007-2011. | ||
In 2011, 4 team members mentored 2 students. | In 2011, 4 team members mentored 2 students. One student succeeded in objectifying the CruisE engine, which really needed it. The other student unfortunately gave up fairly quickly after starting work (although the work done was eventually merged into our main repository, after being worked on further by a team member). After stepping back to review our processes, we feel we can still consider them to be mature. Part of the problems which caused the student to quickly give up came from internal tensions, that we have since addressed by redefining the project management structure. | ||
In 2010 we were granted 4 slots and had 6 mentors, thus we had nice backup mentoring for every student. All four passed the finals this time, and we merged in their code. One student still continues to contribute to the project. We addressed several long standing project needs and it was just excellent. | In 2010 we were granted 4 slots and had 6 mentors, thus we had nice backup mentoring for every student.

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 for a long time. They feel comfortable around the ScummVM code and can guide students to perform their tasks. The majority of the mentors have also participated in past ScummVM GSoCs so they know their way around the procedures and have also refined their mentoring style. 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. | For this year, and this holds for our previous participations too, our mentors have volunteered to work with GSoC.
