Hello, Debian France[1] is organizing a small GSOC-like operation to recruit new Debian contributors. It will be mainly of interest for French-speaking candidates since the reward is a paperback copy of the French translation[2] of the Debian Administrator's Handbook[3] (other rewards might be added in the upcoming days). That said, like all Debian contributors, the candidates are expected to be able to interact in English and as such, it's perfectly OK to have projects mentored by Debian developers from all around. Obviously knowing French is a plus to smooth the interactions with the candidate. We're now actively looking for potential mentors to propose projects. The scope of the projects is much smaller than a Google Summer of Code. It should be doable by volunteers on their spare time over 1-2 months, so we suggest projects in the range of 16-32 hours of work. Use this opportunity to try to enlarge your team, find new developers on some infrastructure that you manage, etc. It's perfectly possible to have packaging-related projects (either multiple small software, or a sizable one, or just regular maintenance within a team). We can go up to 15-20 projects. So add your ideas now! Register projects that you want to mentor on this wiki page: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianFrance/NewContributorGame Please register your projects before March 10th. Thank you!
