[Qemu-devel] GSoC mentor summit session "how to bind students long-term"

[Alexander Graf]

Hi list,

During the GSoC mentor summit there was a pretty interesting session on how to 
get students to stick with your project even after GSoC has ended. So far we 
haven't really been exactly successful in that respect :). I'll just post my 
notes below:

  - send successful students to conferences
  - set expectations on what we expect from students after gsoc, lay out the 
achievement plan for students to times beyond gsoc
  - give students responsibility, make them maintain parts (makes it harder for 
them to just leave, because they feel obliged)
  - shove students to community, no sidechannel communication, make them do 
A&Os on the public list

I hope with this great recipe we'll be even better next year! :)

Alex
