Hi, folks! Is anyone interested in becoming a mentor for Google code-in program this year ?
DEADLINE 15 NOVEMBER 2019
If you're interested, please leave a comment here. Thanks so much!

Only people having experience of Public lab's workflow for at least some months will be considered
Those who want to be invited for GCI Mentor, thank you! Please follow these steps:

  1. Solve a first-timers issue. Provide the link to the first timer issue's pull request (PR) once it's merged. In case, you are not able to find any first-timer issue, solve issue marked as fto-candidate or support, these issues may require little more work, but we'll try to help.
  2. Solve a help-wanted issue. Help wanted issues are issues which are not labelled as gci-candidate neither as fto-candidate nor as first-timer-only. Provide link to such issues' merged PR.
    (Make sure you claim the issue first by commenting on issue you are planning to solve)
  3. make a first-timers issue. Use the extra friendly template which we generally use for creating our first timer issues. Provide the link to the fto.
  4. Fill this form(https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1OFjj_2d4BnntXEy6bddWoKNOeBqvnJCLeGwOFORajZI/edit)

Those who made any gci-code in issue in #6239 as well as google code-in dashboard. Also update the gci-candate task with this message:
We are preparing to participate in Google Code-in, and have reserved this issue for participants in GCI - but we'd love to have your help with another one! Please check out https://code.publiclab.org to see more.

Also, add the issue to the project - https://github.com/orgs/publiclab/projects/2 Google Code-In 2019 as that'll help in differentiating the GCI tasks

@jywarren has curated a great list of things on mentoring, here : #2053

Help copy in issues to Tasks on the GCI dashboard

Now we need to start copying tasks over to the GCI site!

Also be sure to sign up as a mentor for various tasks!

Guidelines for Mentor Prizes 🥇

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please ensure a healthy, friendly and collaborative environment at PL ❤️ . Teamwork and community bonding will be judged amongst mentors. We strongly prefer collaboration and mutual support over competitions amongst mentors. Collaboration and kindness are key ingredients for deciding the prizes.

Metric for deciding prizes for mentors 🔢

  1. Form filled by GCI students about mentor preferences and mentor work.
  2. Form filled by mentors who they think was the best mentors. (They can't fill their names.)
  3. Tasks made by the mentor on the GCI dashboard.
  4. Tasks reviewed by the mentor
  5. Other supportive and collaborative factors like FTOs opening up, issues opening up, bug reporting.

Quality and number of tasks/ issues/ PRs reviewed by the mentors will be judged by the judging team. Judging Team will involve Cess, Jeff, Gaurav, Liz and Sidharth. Forms will be filled in the last week of GCI.

This year, we are providing some prizes for mentors as well! 💯 🎉 🎉 😄 The following three prizes will be made available:

  1. Best GCI mentor will be awarded GCI grand prize trip and PL kit.
  2. Second prize, best GCI mentor will be awarded trip to GSoC summit*
    *Note: Google made an additional 'GCI' slot available this past GSoC summit, and we don't know that this is permanent. But if it is available, this mentor would be selected to attend. In case GSoC will not allow for GCI mentor to attend GSoC summit, then, unfortunately, we will not be able to send anyone there as GCI mentor.
  3. Third best GCI mentor will get a PL Kit.
    Leading mentors for the following repositories will each get a kit (1 max per mentor): :
    LEL
    LBL
    plots2
    PublicLab.Editor
    image-sequencer
    mapknitter
    spectral-workbench
    spectral-workbench.js
    infragram
    Eligibility criterion: 1. Fill https://github.com/orgs/publiclab/teams/gci/discussions/4
  4. Minimum 10 tasks should be reviewed and made in the respective repository to be eligible for prizes.
  5. GCI certificate, T-shirt and Stickers will be awarded to each mentor (by Google). 👍

Planning GCI 🌱

There are basically 4 tasks which we need to ensure before GCI starts.

  1. 100 FTOs for NON-GCI Public
  2. 100 FTOs RESERVED for GCI students
  3. 200 general tasks for GCI students
  4. Get the tasks published by me or Jeff.

Guidelines https://github.com/orgs/publiclab/teams/gci/discussions/5

This year Google became stricter than last year. In GCI, no mentor is allowed to ask any personal information from mentees not even the name nor blog writing etc.
Also, Google wants active mentors this year. Else they asked Org Admins to revoke Mentorship Requests. PL doesn't want to lose any of their mentors. So, all mentors are requested to add at least 5 tasks on their dashboard asap. 5 tasks will help us in demonstrating you as active PL mentor. NO hard and fast rule of 5. Just it is my suggestion to show you as an active contributor.

Check mentorship: Last date to get mentor invite is 14 November 11:59:59pm. In case you have not received mentor invite yet for GCI dashboard AND https://github.com/orgs/publiclab/teams/gci/members. Please contact Sidharth or Jeff.

Mentors are requested to help us in https://github.com/orgs/publiclab/teams/gci/discussions

Non-GCI Mentors

Non-GCI mentors can also help us by creating issues and reviewing prs. We can add you to the reviewer's team if you work good! 🎉

Sure!
The program has not launched yet. It will be announced in a few weeks. Then we will apply for it. While the organisation's application is in review the organisation has to make a list of tasks. This task list needs to be broken down into independent issues on the github with Gci label on them. Once the organisation gets accepted, mentor makes copy of github issues on the official Gci dashboard.
So we require lot of planning and ground work before our application is accepted. :-)
Any help from anyone appreciated.

Google is stricter regarding mentorship this year. So, it is Google's criterion for GCI Mentors.
I hope you all will understand this. We are really happy to have your help. 🤝
We will add you in the reviewer's team so that you can help us. 👍 💯
Thanks all for being with us. We don't want to lose any one of you. So, continue contributing and collaborating. Happy coding :-)

@SidharthBansal I would love to be a mentor at GCI, but the issue is that most of the fto's are opened about 3 weeks ago or a month or so and most of the tasks have been completed. Can you assign me some new tasks which I can work upon.

I am sorry to inform the interested candidates that Only people having experience of Public lab's workflow for at least some months will be considered
This is Google's Policy for mentorship. Organisation Admins received mail from Google regarding this.
We will really love to have your help @Neilblaze and @singh728om but we are sorry that we will not be able to make you mentors.
You can start doing some FTOs followed by help wanted issues. We can add you in the reviewer's team if we find you helpful and collaborative.
I hope you will understand. Thanks all

Hey @gptshubham595 , whenever you get time, can you kindly fix all the issues you have opened recently ?
Pls remove GCI label if it has already been solved.
Also next time in doubt, pls tag plots2 reviewers before you allow anyone claim an issue.
