Re: [incubation] mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code?

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Eclipse Foundation has participated in GSoC since its inception. We'll apply as a mentoring organization again this year. All Eclipse projects should participate through us.

My understanding is that Google requires the backing of a legal entity. It's not clear to me that they'd accept a separate Eclipse project as the project itself is not an organization and has no independent legal standing.

There's information in the wiki. We'll update it early next week.

Sign up for the soc-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx list to keep up with what we're doing. 

I'll post a status update here as well.

HTH,

Wayne

Subject: [incubation] mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code?

Hi,

I have been looking into whether the
Eclipse OMR project could become a mentoring organization for Google Summer
of Code (GSOC). It looks to me like I sign up as an individual who can
represent the Eclipse OMR project (presumably project lead meets that requirement).

For more details on GSOC rules:
        https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/rules/

It's probably a silly question, but
I just want to make sure that "can represent the Eclipse OMR project"
part doesn't interact in some unfortunate way with Eclipse Foundation governance.
