I think having 2 possible mentors or co-mentors still shows some enthousiasm even if I agree it's unfortunate there is not more enthousiasm. > The application deadline is tomorrow. I think it's time to admit that we > won't participate this year, unless someone steps in really soon. Someone steps in to do what exactly? I just had a look and the microproject and idea pages for this year are ok. They are not great sure, but not much worse than the previous years. What should probably be done is to remove project ideas where is no "possible mentor" listed. But I am reluctant to do that as I don't know what Dscho would be ok to mentor. Also please note that you sent this email just the day before the deadline. I know that you sent a previous email three weeks ago, but people easily forget this kind of deadline when they are not often reminded. (And there is a school vacation is France right now so I am having a vacation in Alps with unfortunately quite bad Internet access.) > If we don't participate, I'll add a disclaimer at the top of the > SoC-related pages on git.github.io to make sure students don't waste > time preparing an application. Please submit our application like this. Thanks, Christian.
