Mentor Guide

Most importantly, take a look at the upstream GSoC guide by Google, it will explain most things. We as a community are still quite new as a community and this document is intended as a place to collect helpful resources for mentors and what works for us.

Idea template

Size

  • SMALL (90h)
  • MEDIUM (175h)
  • LARGE (350h)

Title

The title should be clear, concise and inspiring.

Description

Here you should explain what the idea is, and why it would be interesting to work on it. It should only be 2-5 sentences.

Skills required/preferred

List skills needed/recommended to work on the Project. A required skill might be prior knowledge off a specific programming language or how to use specific tooling, while some recommended skill might be something like domain specific knowledge or computer science concepts.

Possible Mentors

And if you know someone else who might be interested, encourage them to apply for becoming a NixOS GSoC mentor. Note that it's not technically required to mentor yourself, but we can only accept ideas were someone is willing to mentor.

Difficulty

This should be one of:

  • EASY
  • MEDIUM
  • HARD

Please keep in mind that the ideas here are targeted at beginners while deciding the difficulty rating.
