All students and mentors will need to start doing their midterm evaluations
as soon as possible.
But notice the time. The evaluation forms are not live for a few hours.
Please make this easy and let's get this behind us. :)

Hi GSoC 2015 Mentors and Org Admins,
Per the program timeline
<http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2015>, starting next
Friday, 26 June you will will be able to submit an evaluation of your
student(s)' progress on their projects thus far.
Here's some important info on midterm evaluations for those not familiar:
Midterm evaluations are done via Melange
<http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2015>. Starting at
19:00 UTC on Friday, 26 June you will be able to submit an evaluation for
your student(s).You can find the evaluation links on your dashboard under
'Evaluations', one for each student you are a mentor for. If you are
curious about who can see evaluations after they are submitted, please
check out the FAQ on Evaluations
<http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2015/help_page#9._How_do_evaluations_work>.
I have also pre-published the evaluation questions below in this email so
you can prepare. The deadline to submit your evaluation is 19:00 UTC on
Friday, 3 July. For those of you who have participated in evaluations in
previous years, please note that this evaluation window is extended by
three days to include a weekend and gives you more time to submit.
You may not submit your evaluation before or after the evaluation window.
Please ask your org admin to submit your evaluation for you if you
absolutely cannot submit yours on time. There really is no excuse for
missing the submission of a student's evaluation.
You must submit an evaluation for every student you are a mentor for this
year. You may submit, modify, and resubmit an evaluation as many times as
you choose up until the deadline. You must answer all required questions on
the evaluation in order to save submit it.
Please note that failing a student at the midterm evaluation means *this
student is immediately removed from the program.* There is no way to fail a
student at the midterm and have the student continue with the program to
try to "make it up" at the final. If your student fails, your student is
out.
You might find the FLOSS manual on GSoC evaluations
<http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCMentoring/evaluations/> helpful as well.
There's some excellent wisdom in there from your fellow mentors and org
admins on the evaluation process.
Students must have an evaluation on file from both themselves *and* a
passing evaluation from their mentor(s) in order to receive their midterm
payments.
Finally, a reminder: This year we will not allow any mentor who misses an
evaluation deadline to attend the mentor summit (assuming no one else
submits the evaluation on the mentor's behalf before the deadline either).
Also, any org that misses 2 or more evaluation deadlines (for the midterm,
final, or midterm and final combined) will not be allowed to attend the
mentor summit this year.
Please let me know directly if you have questions or concerns.
Cheers,
Carol
