11 | Hello, GSoC contributors and mentors. | ||
12 | |||
13 | I would like to remind you that the **first evaluation** deadline is approaching at the end of next week. Below is an extract from the [timeline](https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline): | ||
14 | |||
15 | June 29 18:00 UTC Mentors and contributors can begin submitting Phase 1 evaluations | ||
16 | July 3 18:00 UTC Phase 1 Evaluation deadline | ||
17 | |||
18 | As a result, please make sure contributors talk to their mentors and make sure they are prepared and understand what is expected from them in order to successfully pass the evaluation. | ||
19 | |||
20 | Now would be a good time to review the [Contributor Guidelines](https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Guidelines#HSuggestedwayofworkingforacceptedGSoCContributors) and make sure that the contributors are on track with the deliverables expected from them, specifically: | ||
21 | - That they have [documented their progress](https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/DocumentingStudentProgress) | ||
22 | - Before each coding period ends, each contributor must **release** a functioning, easily installable and testable version of their work so far. | ||
23 | |||
24 | Very important: | ||
25 | Do not forget to actually **fill out the evaluation**, when asked by Google, as not doing so (either by the contributor or the mentor) will cause the contributor to be failed by default, even if they did a great job so far. So *both* mentors and contributors need to fill in evaluations, and not only mentors! | ||
26 | |||
27 | Hope you're having a great time, learning and building cool stuff! | ||
