Feedback from OFC

  • Carefully filter out wannabes and select really good students by giving them small but real tasks (probably some bugs to fix)
  • Student should have some simple plan and mentor should ping him periodically
  • ofc, our wallet was quite small compared to Google's one, but it was still useful, and finally we've used about $700 per student
  • using spamming on global (Hacker News, reddit, slashdot, some mailing lists, subject mailing lists) and on local (probably on foreign languages) - is a key for a broad attention and paycheck
    • ofc by spamming I mean writing short still useful articles
  • and using this you probably can cover even more audience than GSoC
  • as a bonus - you can invite all people, not just only students
  • also even if it fails - it is useful experience and raises your chances on the next GSoC
