These committers will be able to propose ideas and volunteer as mentors for the selected project ideas. As for Administrators, we are using the same group of 3 admins/co-admins from last year, with minimal change/rotation of responsibilities."," The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects. The Apache projects are characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field. We consider ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather a community of developers and users.",The ASF will be using a project selection criteria that will try to filter these possible disappearing contributors during our project selection phase. Each individual ASF project might have extra steps to prevent this to happen.,"

Also, the ASF official communication channel is the community public mailing lists, this should encourage contributors to engage with the community for design discussions and code contributions during and after the program execution.",No central IRC,TRUE,"The ASF is a foundation, not a single project. Specific actions are up to the individual projects and are likely to be inline with their existing community development activities. GSoC students are not treated any differently to other community members. As a foundation we can point out that we have bi-annual conferences and a growing number of smaller regional events. We can (and should) keep track of all GSoC applications and ensure they are invited to these events. For those who can't afford to attend we do have travel assistance to which GSoC participants can apply. As a foundation, we should do more about publicizing the success of GSoC and the students involved. So we will do some PR around their activities and hold them up high as shining examples. This will, hopefully, give them a little of that ""name in lights"" thing.",No central list,2009-03-19 17:44:30.375896,"The ASF have participated in previous years, and we have seen lots of success stories where contributors become committers and sometimes even mentors in future years. We have also had failures, and have had discussion on how to learn from these experiences to avoid them in the future.",The Apache Software Foundation,"Considering the ASF is a foundation, not a single project, we the admins would ask for the project PMC to indicate a substitute mentor or provide co-mentors for the selected projects.",http://www.apache.org/,"No central list, see the lists of Apache projects at http://www.apache.org/ and http://incubator.apache.org/",http://wiki.apache.org/general/SummerOfCode2009," This is an excellent opportunity for The Apache Software Foundation projects to build/increase the community contributing to the project.
