Dear all,
TL;DR:
- Can someone track and do eventually GSoC 2025 duties until January
15th 2025 while I am absent?
- Please prepare your project community if you want to participate
already now.
This year we had two projects participating the GSoC 2024 where one of
the projects passed successfully. With both projects I also conducted a
fruitful feedback round that provided more insights in how we can
improve the next time.
You can read more about it here:
https://xmpp.org/2024/08/the-xmpp-newsletter-july-2024/#xmpp-and-google-sum…
I will not be available from the 20 November till 12 January. However, I
would consider to do the administration for GSoC 2025 still. In that
regard, I don't expect much will be required to do, but I would like to
ensure someone to take care on whatever may come from Google and we may
need to do as organization and community. And if it just is to remind
people to prepare and think about it. Most things are documented already:
https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Google_Summer_of_Code_2024https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Application_details_from_Feb_2022
If you and your project community would like to participate next year,
please consider to prepare now. Onboard people takes time and is key for
a successful participation.
Furthermore, there is also Outreachy as an alternative stipend for your
community: https://www.outreachy.org/
You can reach me if you have more questions.
Kind regards,
Eddie

Normally there is some text here, bragging about the new phone and excusing for the brevity. That is insane: if this phone was really that great, I would have sent a decent mail.

Following up on the June 6 board meeting, I've created a wiki page (or
at least a stub) here:
https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Organization_Proposal
I've also initiated a discussion on the email list for open-source
foundations, which has been quite helpful. I plan to talk in the next
few weeks with the director of an organization that moved from the U.S.
to Europe some years ago. I'll update the wiki page as I learn more, but
others should feel free to edit as well with questions and preliminary
findings.
Peter
