Hi there,
>
> This is a friendly reminder that Monday, 17 August is our soft "pencils
> down" date. We suggest that students have completed their projects by this
> date and spend a week writing documentation and wrapping up their projects.
> We require that students stop all coding on 21 August.
>
> Friday, 21 August at 19:00 UTC is when final evaluations open. Please
> consider this your reminder to submit your final evaluation by 28 August at
> 19:00 UTC so that you don't delay your students' final payments or possibly
> jeopardize your organization's attendance at the mentor summit.
>
> I have updated the code submission guidelines
> <http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2015/codeguidelines> and
> posted it on Melange for your reference. Code submission begins once
> students have received a passing grade on their final evaluations (after 28
> August). The deadline is 25 September. One question students ask a lot is
> what portion of their code to submit if they made changes to an existing
> code base or their code interacts a lot with a system they didn't write.
> The answer is: use your best discretion. Have them submit the code that
> makes the most sense from a user's perspective.
>
> I have posted the questions for the final evaluations below as well for
> your reference.
>
> Cheers,
> Carol
