According to the date of the oldest closed pull request in https://github.com/openSUSE/mentoring, it appears the mentoring repository was established some time in the last quarter of 2015. What did "Chris/Cornelius/Me" do at that time to publicize the existence of a "something for mentoring" effort?
https://news.opensuse.org/2016/01/14/opensuse-expands-outreach-for-google-su...
So, I infer that everyone in the openSUSE project is expected to follow https://news.opensuse.org/ so efforts like this can be revealed to the community. I'll do that now that I understand that is where such notice is regularly posted. But do those using the forums, for instance, yet know of the existence of the mentoring repository?
The first time on this list Chris mentioned 101 in his call's for GSoC projects somewhat early February.
So, at least two months passed before further publicity was given to "101", which I take it is shorthand for http://101.openSUSE.org
We are going to make more noise about it if we get accepted to GSoC which will be the first time we seriously use this 'program'.
If we are accepted to the Google Summer of Code, wouldn't it be nice to have some idea of who will be mentoring our offering to GSoC and who the mentee might be? That is, shouldn't the planning for our GSoC effort take the time currently available to move forward in optimistic anticipation so we can take full advantage of the short, unyielding schedule of the passing of Summer?

Is it possible for the mentoring repository to be used for other efforts to grow the number of participants in the openSUSE project? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
