Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Disclaimer about the number of slots.
Date: Wed,  4 Mar 2015 08:19:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1425453571-8771-2-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1425453571-8771-1-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr>

This is debatable, but this may discourrage students who picked Git more
or less at random. If I read
https://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/ProgramStatistics
correctly, the average number of slots per organization is closer to 10
than 2, hence students have better chance to get accepted in other
organizations.

OTOH, 2 slots is not so much worse than the 3 we had last year. And now
that Dscho is volunteer to mentor a GSoC too, we may actually end up
accepting 3 students.

So, sending this in case other people think it's a good idea, but I
won't fight for it in case you don't think it is.

+## Note about the number of slots
+
+In 2015, the Git organization has very limited mentoring capacity.
+We will probably be able to accept 2 students only this year.
