Minutes
Reaching out to potential students in implementing countries.
Discussion of items in Talk__Projects and what projects may fit which mentors.
Deciding on a project to mentor:
Should mentor a project that is mission critical to an implementation?
What are the costs if the student drops out?
Try to mentor a project that is relevant to what the mentor-developer needs for an implementation.
Projects that will satisfy an implementation's needs are good for implementations as well as good for the students' satisfaction.
TODO: Darius will reach out to Maro's about his mentorship in GSoC.
