Hi everyone!
Welcome @aashishpanthi ! Indeed, the feedback and revision request period is over. You are still welcome to ask questions in this public forum, and I will answer on Friday (April 4) and Monday (April 7)
To @Rishab87’s question:
for second review instead of submitting the form again, I’ve replied to the mail itself as it was mentioned we can do that. So is that fine?
Yep, your second request is in the queue, and same for every who replied by email. I’ll post tomorrow (April 4) once all the feedback has been sent out, so if someone doesn’t get something by then, please @ me and I’ll look into it as soon as possible.
To @Nwakaego’s question:
I just wanted to confirm if my proposal was received, as I haven’t gotten any feedback yet.
I believe yours should be sent as of yesterday, so please let me know if you didn’t get it!
The time for providing feedback depends on mentor commitments and availability, as well as on how long and complicated the proposals are. It’s a queue, so people who submitted earlier have already gotten responses, but all feedbacks will be done by end of day on April 4th, which is tomorrow! Thanks for your patience.
To @TejasNangru’s question:
can we also apply to the Processing Fellowship Program and if yes please brief about this program.
Great question, here is the key information and you’re encouraged to self-organize in this thread.
There is an upcoming info session (check “Fellowship Timeline” on the main fellowships page) and I recommend attending this if you’re interested.
Processing Foundation runs a variety of other programs that accept applications, so you can keep an eye out in the future as well!
Please note that GSoC is a little different: with GSoC, we approach the application process as a whole from a mentorship perspective. I sincerely hope that the process of application (this Q&A, the in-progress revision feedback, and the feedback that everyone will receive on their applications) is already helpful to build the skill of applying to future opportunities. With the fellowship, the Discourse thread is intended for sefl-organizing, and mentors will work with those applicants that are accepted. If you want feedback during your application process, I would recommend creating peer groups and helping each other to build good individual and team applications.
Many of the comments in this thread can be used to write good proposals generally: make sure you have a well-researched timeline and project scope; justify all tools and technologies used; motivate your project not just in terms of technical possibility, but also from the perspective of community impact.
I hope this helps,
Best,
Kit
