Interviewing previous GSoC and Outreachy contributors #671
Comments
Sounds like a good idea to me. It would indeed be an interesting one. I wonder if we should keep this as a related section to "Developer Spotlight" but titled slightly differently to convey the difference in focus. May be we could call it something like "Alumni Retrospection" (or) something ? |
Yeah, I think it might be a good idea to use "Alumni Retrospection". I especially like that it's a bit different than usual and readers can easily notice it. On the other hand it might make it a bit difficult in the future to look for all the people we interviewed one way or another, but I think this is a small downside. |
I also think this is a good idea (perhaps under different name, like "From Mentee to Developer", but "Alumni Retrospection" is also a good suggestion). We could however start with some GSoC and Outreachy statistics:

@jnareb yeah, such statistics are very interesting, but I think it could be a separate article later. Feel free to work on it if you are interested in it. I don't think we really need it to start interviewing past contributors and interns though. BTW we already have such information for previous GSoC in some SoC-*-Org-Application.md files, like SoC-2019-Org-Application.md, as Google used to ask us "What is your success/fail rate per year?" and we used to answer like this (from SoC-2019-Org-Application.md): Here are the numbers of passed (p), failed (f) and retained (r) students (where "retained" means "still participating on the mailing list a year or more after their GSoC") for each year:

@jnareb if you want more statistics, let me know and I will help as I can. |
Just for the note, I'm gathering information about contributors who've contributed via GSoC. I've put a draft MR with the information that I've gathered so far. Feel free to comment on the same. |
@sivaraam I left some comments, thanks! |
Once, @gitster suggested that we interview GSoC or Outreachy contributors. I think it might not be a good idea to do it during their contribution period, but I think it could be a good idea to interview them afterwards. Perhaps years after might be even better.
If they were mentored some years ago, I think it could be interesting to ask them questions like the following:
@sivaraam @jnareb and @mjaix what do you think about it?
