| 12:16.12 | Snow-Man | wrt GCI, is there something that comes along w/ being a mentor beyond getting, like, a t-shirt? |

| 15:40.17 | downey | Snow-Man: IIRC gci mentors also get a certificate similar to GSoC |
| 15:42.19 | Snow-Man | ok |
| 15:42.33 | Snow-Man | just checking since we seem to have a bunch of people somewhat randomly wanting to be gci mentors.. |
| 15:42.57 | Snow-Man | which is cool and all, but wanted to check and see if there's some kind of monetary thing people are getting out of it or something |

| 17:33.42 | Robert_S | Please make sure they're actually good mentors. |
| 17:41.34 | Snow-Man | well, that's kinda what we're trying to work through |
| 17:42.09 | Snow-Man | as in- are we having to weed out folks who are just trying to use this to get funds somehow, or what |
| 17:42.27 | Snow-Man | We're pushing back some on them and trying to gauge their knowledge level and stuff |
| 17:43.21 | Snow-Man | and they tend to people people who have participated in the program in some way before (one was a GCI "grand prize" winner last year..) |
| 17:45.10 | Snow-Man | Robert_S: so I guess that's what I'm trying to figure out. For GSOC, where it's multiple months on a serious project, I'd be loath to consider anyone who I didn't know was directly involved in the project on a regular and ongoing basis to be a mentor |
| 17:45.45 | Snow-Man | and there, there's actually more that you get for being a mentor, imv anyway, since you could possibly get to go to the mentor summit and such |
| 17:46.23 | Snow-Man | with these small tasks, someone who is familiar with the project and knows how to set things up and whatnot could be an entirely good mentor for a student |
| 17:47.28 | Snow-Man | Robert_S: so, uhm, any thoughts? :) |

| 17:58.03 | Robert_S | Snow-Man: If you don't know them as directly involved on the project on a regular basis, I'd be very wary of including them as a mentor. |
| 17:58.24 | Robert_S | Because a) You need to know they're good with younger people. b) You need to know they know the project. |
| 17:58.28 | Robert_S | It's a judgement call. |
| 17:58.52 | Robert_S | People who pop up out of nowhere to mentor are unknown quantities. |
| 17:59.02 | Robert_S | Maybe they can demonstrate in a week or two the characteristics you want. |
| 17:59.06 | Robert_S | To make them less unknown. |

| 21:22.02 | valorie | Snow-Man: we're also getting a lot more random "wannabe mentor" inquiries this year |
| 21:22.05 | valorie | for KDE |
| 21:22.09 | valorie | rather annoying |
| 21:22.36 | Snow-Man | yea... we're starting to wonder if maybe universities in parts of the world are encouraging grad students to be mentors for GCI, or something? |
| 21:23.56 | terri | that seems really weird, but not impossible. |
| 21:23.57 | valorie | otoh a few of the people who used to be active and are getting reinvolved, so that's good |
