If that's the case why not Lucas Kanashiro (as Dashamir Hoxa can't go and Daniel Don't want to)  , can go to represent Debian , well i see he has done some great contributions , not criticising  any mentor, sorry for that , just keeping my point of view.

I am not telling that any mentors are good or bad , but I request admins to atleast look their github or salsa repo that how they are helping students by their mentoring . So that the well deserving Mentors , can go to Summit to represent Debian .

Sorry , for interruption between the mentors ,

But can i know except rolling the dice ,
What are the things that a mentor should know and after how many contribution ,they can go for this prestigious Summit 

To my understanding, the only GSoC requirement for a mentor is that he has mentored a project on the last GSoC term. The rest of selection criteria (if any) is up to the admin(s). So, the mentors of the past years (for example) do not count for participation on the summit, no matter how many contributions they have done.

 

And why there is rolling of dice rather then a formal written format for it and a review of best admin to represent Debian in Mentor summit .

I know , i am not mentor and i shouldn't interfere in this matter but , as a part of Debian community . I am just asking some questions.

Since this discussion is happening on a list that has mostly students, I guess that it is Ok for the students to participate in the discussion.
