I would like to volunteer too!

I agree with Ewan, we need fix time and dedicate mentors to students.

Can anyone telll me how this Google Summer of code works? I have gone through there site, but I didn't get complete overview.

Like for example, we propose A project, then for this what kind of development, testing, code submission process will work etc...?

Thanks all,
Hitesh Wadekar

Thanks,
Hitesh

The most important thing is that you recognize that this is a real time investment.  It's not just a case of exchanging a few emails with the student -- you're going to need to dedicate time to helping them through their ideas, plans, and coding.

If you're able to do that, I see no reason why you'd have to be an OpenStack core reviewer.  We should obviously co-ordinate who's doing what though, so that everyone gets the best out of it.

Cheers,

Ewan.
