Re: [nebula-dev] Fwd: Need interested mentor in GSOC2012 -- Proposal for

[Wim Jongman <wim.jongman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

Is someone interested in mentoring this student? The GSoC program is a
great opportunity to help people make some cash during the summer and
to add value to our open source project.

I am happy to help out but I cannot commit to a full mentor status.

It is a nice experience and adds great value to your professional resume.

If you are a Nebula committer, please apply as a mentor here [1]. You
will be able to help out the greater eclipse community by also
commenting and voting for the proposed projects in other eclipse
projects. In particular, Mylyn and ECF have gained a lot by using the
GSoC program.

On top of all this: You will get a GSoC t-shirt!!

Please consider spending a few hours a week during this summer and help.

Regards,

Wim
