CNCF has formally applied as an organization this weekend, yay!

We'll keep this thread updated with fresh news, for now, we can close this issue - #465.

Hello everyone,

We've been asked to provide some more information about the projects. I've gone through and commented on each project's PR, but thought I'd also post here in case anyone had any general questions.

As per the Defining a Project Idea list, could you please update any project suggestions you've submitted with the following (if not already provided):

a) a project title/description
b) more detailed description of the project (2-5+ sentences)
c) expected outcomes
d) skills required/preferred
e) possible mentors
f) expected size of the project (175 or 350 hours)
g) an easy, medium, or hard difficulty rating of each project.

Please update your projects by March 3, 2022. Thanks!

Note, there is a new deadline: please update by Tues, March 1 at 5pm PT.

Hi Everyone, I'm a little late to say it, but CNCF has been selected as a Google Summer of Code 2022 mentor organization! 🎉

You can find the the full list of accepted 2022 GSoC mentoring organizations at https://g.co/gsoc.

Hi again everyone! I've sent invitations for the CNCF org to all the mentors that I have an email address for.

If you are a mentor and have not received one yet, I may not have your email address. Could you please provide it on this form:

I tried that too, doesn't seem to be working for me, sent an email to gsoc-support.

Hi @nate-double-u , I'm one of the mentors on one of the Pixie projects. I submitted my information on the form a couple of weeks back, but haven't received an invite to the platform yet. Could you take a look? My email is [email protected]. Thanks!

[nate-double-u]

Hi @aimichelle, I've just resent the invite! Please let me know if you've not received it.

[nate-double-u]

Hi Everyone,

I still don't have email addresses for all of the mentors, so I'm not able to invite you to the CNCF org.

If you are a mentor listed below and have not received an invitation to the GSoC CNCF org yet, I don't have your email address. Could you please provide it on this form:

https://forms.gle/339NecJLfXPuDahh8

@JimmyYang20
@jaypume
@Shelley-BaoYue
@breeswish
@richcase

If there's been an error and you have provided your email address, let me know and we'll see about sorting it out. Thanks!

Hi @nate-double-u , I'm one of the mentors of Chaos Mesh project. I submitted the form weeks but also haven't received an invitation. Could you please resent one to [email protected]? Thx.

[Mostafa-wael]

Hello everyone, I am really interested in a lot of projects in this list and want to apply for them as a GSOC student this year. Any ideas about what should I do? how to contact the mentor? etc..

[nate-double-u]

Hi @Mostafa-wael,

Take a look at this discussion:

• Google Summer of Code 2022 & CNCF #565

There is a list of project related discussions where you can reach out to the mentors and talk about your ideas.

[Mostafa-wael]

Thanks nate! I will check it

Hey Everyone! Where can we find the template for writing a GSoC proposal for contributors?

[nate-double-u]

I don't think there are any templates for proposals to the CNCF orgs, but the GSoC Contributor/Student Guide has a section on writing proposals.
