| jpich | vkmc: Hi! I'm toying with ideas on how I might be able to help with mentoring in OpenStack again in the future and trying to figure out the state of "mentoring in OpenStack" at the moment. What channels to join? Does OpenStack still participate in GSoC? Is https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Outreachy the main source of documentation for OpenStack mentoring programs or are there others? | 10:37 |
|---|---|---|
| jpich | (I'm seeing references to #openstack-opw, not sure if I'm looking at an outdated page or if I should correct them as I notice them :)) | 10:38 |
| mahatic | jpich: hi! Here is some reference to other kinds of mentoring programs that OpenStack currently has: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Mentors | 10:41 |
| mahatic | jpich: also it'd help a great deal to change #openstack-opw to #openstack-outreachy when you find them :) thanks! | 10:42 |
| jpich | mahatic: Thanks!! That's helpful. I'll fix up the references as I notice them as well | 10:43 |
| jpich | So no more GSoC it looks like | 10:43 |
| mahatic | not in the past/current round I believe | 10:43 |
| jpich | I'm curious to know why. Lack of mentors' interest/help in preparing project ideas, administrative load too high, not being selected...? (All sound fair to me!) | 10:48 |
| mahatic | hmm, if it's about Outreachy, we do have quite a few project ideas every round - and number of applicants are usually more than what we can accommodate. This could result in some projects not being picked up (lack of slots/interest by applicants) | 10:52 |
| jpich | Good to hear there's a lot of project ideas for Outreachy :) Sounds healthy. I was wondering about GSoC | 10:53 |
| mahatic | oic, my bad! | 10:54 |
| mahatic | it'd be interesting to understand those areas - I have not had direct experience with someone's proposal being rejected. But I wonder if it's coz Outreachy offers a good enough platform to bring in more people into OpenStack, and GSoC could seem like a new place and hence more effort? | 11:00 |

| jpich | mahatic: I think GSoC is more established and has more rules to respect, also because Google provides the funding they assess organisations that want to participate more closely. But I haven't really stayed on top of things the last couple of years :) | 12:08 |
| jpich | I'm genuinely glad to hear Outreachy continues to happily chug along :) | 12:08 |
| mahatic | jpich: I agree - GSoC with more rules and scrutiny. | 12:11 |
| mahatic | yup, Outreachy FTW :) | 12:11 |
| jpich | \o/ | 12:11 |
| mahatic | jpich: which OpenStack project do you work on? Are you interested in proposing an idea? I'm just curious :) | 12:13 |
| jpich | mahatic: I'm working on TripleO. The main issue we have right now is there are huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge hardware requirements to be able to participate so it's not reasonably feasible to mentor at the moment. I'm trying to see if I can wiggle some workarounds or cloud resources somewhere, just starting on this though so it'll probably be a few months before anything is confirmed (or not) | 12:17 |
| jpich | But I miss mentoring anyway so taking the pulse of where OpenStack is at in that regard at the moment, and maybe there's some small places I can still give a hand anyway | 12:17 |
| mahatic | jpich: oic. Nice to hear your interest in mentoring! I hope the reference link I had posted helps you in what you're looking for | 12:19 |
| jpich | mahatic: It did, thanks! | 12:20 |
