Re: [xwiki-devs] Semester of Code
Hi Scott, This is a great idea, I love it! :) Speaking for myself, I’d really like to see the XWiki project participating to it. What do we need to do to participate? Thanks a lot -Vincent On 14 Jul 2014 at 18:36:15, Scott Wilson (scott.bradley.wilson@gmail.com(mailto:scott.bradley.wilson@gmail.com)) wrote:
Hi everyone,
I'm working with an initiative similar to Google Summer of Code, called Semester of Code, and I think it would be great to have students work on XWiki. Below is more detailed information, but basically its like GSoC, except students are involved as part of their courses or industrial placements, so receive academic credit rather than money for their work.
Hopefully this is of interest to the XWiki community!
If any questions aren't answered by the FAQ[1] or invitation below, feel free to ask.

The VALS Semester of Code [1] project is working with European universities and FOSS communities to give students real-world experience working in open source software projects while receiving academic credit. The benefit to your projects will be valuable and hopefully ongoing contributions. VALS will also benefit the wider sector by helping to produce graduates with the skills and experience needed to engage with open development.
Our first Semester of Code will involve approximately 75 student placements, starting in September. We would like to invite your organisation to participate in this pilot by offering mentored placements within your projects.
If you have participated in Google Summer of Code before, you will find our process similar; we will seek placements for student projects, and will use the a system similar to Google's Melange platform to manage placements. However, VALS differs from Summer of Code in that instead of receiving money for their participation, students will receive academic credit. For this reason the mentors from your project will need to liaise with the student's academic tutor. The VALS project will support this process to ensure it runs as smoothly as possible. We also ensure the admin overhead is minimal.
The VALS initiative is a partnership of European universities and SMEs who have been working for several months to plan the pilot of Semester of Code, which will run during the next academic year. We have now reached the stage where we are signing up FOSS projects who are willing to provide mentors. We have already seen interest from smaller, single-company projects to larger software foundations, and would like to see more.
If you'd be willing to provide one or more mentored projects, we’d love to talk to you about joining Semester of Code. In return, you’ll get an enthusiastic student providing a valuable contribution to your project. The VALS team will be on hand throughout the project to answer any questions and help unblock communication issues between mentors, students and academic supervisors.
To join in the Semester of Code or to simply find out more you can email mark.johnson@it.ox.ac.uk, or you can sign up to our mailing list directly by using the web form [1].
More detail about the Semester of Code are available on our FAQ page [2]. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask on the mailing list, and one of the VALS team will get back to you! 1: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=VALS-SOC&A=1 2: http://semesterofcode.com/?p=22

Hi Vincent, The process looks like this: First off, you (or someone from XWiki) need to sign up to the mailing list [1] and post an introduction message. Next week, we'll start sending out registration keys for the platform to everyone who has signed up to the list. From that point onwards, those who have been registered can log in to the platform, and register other people from the project, so they can start adding their ideas for student projects. The final deadline for submissions is 12th September - though earlier is better as it means more time for students to read them and ask questions. Students will be able to submit their proposals from 12th September to 21st November. You can approve proposals at any time, but final public announcements will be made on November 28th.

Hi folks, Just a reminder that the site for including ideas for student projects is up: http://vps.semesterofcode.com/ If you'd like to be added as a mentor for XWiki and add your ideas, Vincent has the registration key you need (though he needs to create the XWiki org on there first!) I'm sure some of the project ideas kicking around from the previous GSoC could be reused, or some of the issues being discussed currently on the list. Any questions, just ask!

Note that even if you’re not a committer but you’re interested in mentoring a Semester of Code project, you can still do that! It’s possible because you’ll be able to open a project on XWiki Contrib (https://github.com/orgs/xwiki-contrib/dashboard) and have a JIRA project, and then publish the results on http://extensions.xwiki.org when the project is implemented with your student.

The VALS team will be on hand throughout the project to answer any questions and help unblock communication issues between mentors, students and academic supervisors.
To join in the Semester of Code or to simply find out more you can email mark.johnson@it.ox.ac.uk, or you can sign up to our mailing list directly by using the web form [1].
More detail about the Semester of Code are available on our FAQ page [2]. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask on the mailing list, and one of the VALS team will get back to you! 1: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=VALS-SOC&A=1 2: http://semesterofcode.com/?p=22

Hi everyone,
I’ve now registered myself and XWiki on http://vps.semesterofcode.com/ (@Scott: sorry for taking that long but your email with the code was hidden deep in my spam folder and I had to clean up 520 other spam messages before finding it! :)).
So, I’m going to send the code to register ideas for the XWiki project on the committers list.
We have 2 weeks to submit ideas on http://vps.semesterofcode.com/
Here’s how to do it:
“ Once registered, you and your mentors can submit ideas: - Log in and click the Dashboard link - Click "Manage your project ideas" - Fill the form (You may have to click the "Add" tab if you have already submitted ideas" - When entering the description, please consider the following guidance: At a minimum, please include the expected outcome of the project, a potential mentor, the skills and/or languages required to complete the project, and a general "difficulty" level.
The project should take about 3 months to complete. Please bear in mind that it's better to start with a smaller project that can be extended if your student proves to be capable rather than have an over-ambitious idea which can't be completed in time. - Include a link to a bug tracker issue or somewhere in your project's workflow system that this project will be tracked
The system is still a work-in-progress at the moment, so changes will be made as we go. As this is a pilot project, we are very welcoming of any feedback that you have, whether about the technical or organisational aspects of the system. “
I suggest every one who’s willing to mentor should register his ideas/project there.
I also suggest we reuse the proposals we had for the last GSOC: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/WebHome#HProposedProj...
Let’s do it! Thanks -Vincent

If you'd like to be added as a mentor for XWiki and add your ideas, Vincent has the registration key you need (though he needs to create the XWiki org on there first!)
I'm sure some of the project ideas kicking around from the previous GSoC could be reused, or some of the issues being discussed currently on the list.
Any questions, just ask!

Hi Scott,
This is a great idea, I love it! :)
Speaking for myself, I’d really like to see the XWiki project participating to it.
What do we need to do to participate?
Thanks a lot -Vincent
Hi Vincent,
The process looks like this:
First off, you (or someone from XWiki) need to sign up to the mailing list [1] and post an introduction message.
Next week, we'll start sending out registration keys for the platform to everyone who has signed up to the list.
From that point onwards, those who have been registered can log in to the platform, and register other people from the project, so they can start adding their ideas for student projects.
The final deadline for submissions is 12th September - though earlier is better as it means more time for students to read them and ask questions.
Students will be able to submit their proposals from 12th September to 21st November. You can approve proposals at any time, but final public announcements will be made on November 28th.

http://vps.semesterofcode.com/
If you'd like to be added as a mentor for XWiki and add your
ideas, Vincent has the registration key you need (though he needs to create the XWiki org on there first!)
I'm sure some of the project ideas kicking around from the
previous GSoC could be reused, or some of the issues being discussed currently on the list.
Any questions, just ask!
Cheers

Below is more detailed information, but basically its like GSoC, except students are involved as part of their courses or industrial placements, so receive academic credit rather than money for their work. > > > > > > > > Hopefully this is of interest to the XWiki community! > > > > > > > > If any questions aren't answered by the FAQ[1] or invitation below, feel free to ask. > > > > > > > > All the best, > > > > > > > > - Scott > > > > > > > > ~~~ > > > > > > > > The VALS Semester of Code [1] project is working with European universities and FOSS communities to give students real-world experience working in open source software projects while receiving academic credit. The benefit to your projects will be valuable and hopefully ongoing contributions. VALS will also benefit the wider sector by helping to produce graduates with the skills and experience needed to engage with open development. > > > > > > > > Our first Semester of Code will involve approximately 75 student placements, starting in September. We would like to invite your organisation to participate in this pilot by offering mentored placements within your projects. > > > > > > > > If you have participated in Google Summer of Code before, you will find our process similar; we will seek placements for student projects, and will use the a system similar to Google's Melange platform to manage placements. However, VALS differs from Summer of Code in that instead of receiving money for their participation, students will receive academic credit. For this reason the mentors from your project will need to liaise with the student's academic tutor. The VALS project will support this process to ensure it runs as smoothly as possible. We also ensure the admin overhead is minimal. > > > > > > > > The VALS initiative is a partnership of European universities and SMEs who have been working for several months to plan the pilot of Semester of Code, which will run during the next academic year. We have now reached the stage where we are signing up FOSS projects who are willing to provide mentors. We have already seen interest from smaller, single-company projects to larger software foundations, and would like to see more. > > > > > > > > If you'd be willing to provide one or more mentored projects, we’d love to talk to you about joining Semester of Code. In return, you’ll get an enthusiastic student providing a valuable contribution to your project. The VALS team will be on hand throughout the project to answer any questions and help unblock communication issues between mentors, students and academic supervisors. > > > > > > > > To join in the Semester of Code or to simply find out more you can email mark.johnson@it.ox.ac.uk, or you can sign up to our mailing list directly by using the web form [1]. > > > > > > > > More detail about the Semester of Code are available on our FAQ page [2].
