Dzisiaj znowu trochę się dowiedziałem o światku GSoC. Jak się okazuje, na ponad tysiąc stu studentów przypada dwóch pracowników (a raczej dwie pracowniczki) Google na pełen etat i trzech zajmujących się tym w niepełnym wymiarze godzin. Ciekawe kwiatki wyszły też z dyskusji o kierunkach, na których kiszą się studenci…
Najpierw mail o pracownikach Google (oczywiście od Leslie):

Folks, let me introduce you to the world of Summer of Code on the Google
side.
There’s me.
There’s Tiffany, who does all the heavy lifting in terms of sending out
payments and shirts and what not, with my help.
There’s one engineer working on this part-time, and Chris and Greg are
involved mostly at the beginning and do managerial looking in from time to
time.
That’s it.
There are 1100+ new students this year.
We have found a system that works for us and should work for you given the
resources we have.
Best,
LH
Jakie wyobrażenie o ekipie zdążyli już sobie wyrobić studenci:

- “Non-English is fine.”
– Is that means Google’s employees would translate non-English
doucuments into English?
Google is a cosmopolitan place. Someone there will understand
whatever language the document was written.
They are trying to do easy for us.
I wouldn’t surprise if they also have a polarbear working for them ;-)

I am a Chinese student and my student card having only the Chinese name
printed on it. Then can I submit copy of this student card as proof of
enrollment?
A na koniec smaczek, najlepiej brzmiący kierunek studiów na świecie ;)
