Hi!

It seems to me that Daniel Pocock doesn't respond to student mail. There is a longtime I wrote to him but no answer.

Kind regards,

Hello all,

I am Aman Pratap Singh, a CSE major at Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar. I am writing this with regard to Debian organization's project idea for Google Summer of Code titled Firefox and Thunderbird plugins for free software habits. I am interested in working on this project.

I request to please brief me with steps to getting started.

Sincerely,

It seems to me kind of spamming if all the students post to debian-outreach and ask for help.

This is why each project has its own mentors. Otherwise it is just stealing valuable time from everyone.

Maybe I am wrong, but I think that students should not be allowed to ask for help on debian-outreach.

They should contact the mentors instead.
