[llvm-dev] [GSoC] Mentor qualification guidelines

[Roel Jordans via llvm-dev]

Hi all,

I have a question related to GSoC.  One of my students submitted an idea 
[1] for a GSoC project and I would be interested in (co-)mentoring this 
project but I'm unsure of the qualification requirements for acting as a 
mentor.  Is there anyone that can clarify the requirements here?

I have been working with LLVM for several years now but mostly on 
projects outside of the main LLVM repository.  At our university we are 
currently maintaining two backends for our own custom architectures and 
last year we started a new compiler course based on LLVM [2] where we 
have several assignments with the LLVM internals.

I think that I'm reasonably familiar with LLVM to help guide this 
project but I'm not sure what the community involvement requirements are 
for example.  I also remember some posts from last year where there were 
other people asking similar questions so I expect that further 
clarification of this may help in general as well.

Cheers,

  Roel
