Summer 2020 Process and Selection Criteria

We now have funding and mentors available for up to 2 students. With over 50 applications, we will need to be very selective.

Below is the process and the criteria we will use for selecting the student for this project:

• Applications are now open for any student with proof of enrollment
• The project is scheduled to start July 1 and run through end of September
  • Since the project workload is equivalent to full-time work, applicants should make sure that no other obligations (e.g. to school) would prevent them for dedicating this time to their project
• Applicants should upload a project proposal to community bridge with the following information before June 15:
  • A description of the project and how it improves the SPDX online tools and benefits the SPDX community
  • A workplan describing the deliverables
  • 4 specific milestones at 25% 50%, 75% and 100% of the project timeline – these milestones will be basis for paying the student stipends throughout the project
• Project ideas can be found on the Community Bridge Mentoring Project Ideas Page: https://wiki.spdx.org/view/CommunityBridge/CommunityBridge_ProjectIdeas
  • These reflect our current priorities, but are not restricting: we are open to any other project ideas applicants may propose
• Selection will be based on 3 factors:
  • The project proposal
  • Contributions to any of the SPDX projects (all located under the SPDX GitHub organization): https://github.com/spdx
  • Contributions to other publicly available projects which use similar technologies (e.g. Python or Django projects)
• A short list of candidates will be selected on the week of 15-19 June
  • Applicants not selected will be notified, so that they are freed to apply to other Community Bridge projects
• The final candidates will be selected on the week of 22-26 June
