Jonas Drewsen has been accepted as a mentor for the Google Summer of 
Code 2011 program for Digital Mars. He is particularly interested in 
topics related to networking.

Please join me in congratulating and wishing the best to Jonas.

We have 18 student applications and only 6 mentors. Probably we won't be 
able to accept all student applications, but we could definitely use 
more mentors. Please apply:

I've finally decided at the last minute to apply as a mentor.  I'm 
primarily but not exclusively interested in garbage collection.  I'd 
also like working on parallelism and concurrency stuff if any students 
seemed interested in it.

Do we need a 1:1 mapping between students and mentors? I though several 
students were interested in the same topics and perhaps could share a 
mentor.

Possibly better question:  Would we even accept multiple students for 
the same project?

That is a good question, and I guess, excluding cases where effort has  
been done to reduce the overlap (containers), the answer will probably  
be no.

Personally I will not have time to follow more than one student (I  
might help out or something, but I can commit to only one student.

I just asked for clarification.

Technically it is allowed, but the GSoC info says that it is not 
recommended, because of the time expenditure involved. They say that 
even for one student mentors often underestimate the amount of time 
necessary to provide good support.
So I guess it would be up to the mentor, if he really feels up to it.

Yah. That means that the number of approved projects is limited by 
min(students, mentors). We have 7 mentors for over student 20 applications.

Experienced members of the community - please consider applying for 
mentorship. This is the time to act, and the best answer to the FAQ 
"What can I do for D?" On the other hand, please don't take this lightly 
as mentoring is a solid commitment that takes real work.


Thanks,

Andrei
