Hello, I hope you all are doing well. I'd like to appreciate everyone including Christian, Junio, Usman and Kristoffer for the guides and assistance during this contribution phase. The deadline for the final application is in exactly a week's time. I'd like to know if there is any new information on how to submit the final application as the Outreachy page requires us to record a contribution by submitting a link to the contribution and also submit a final application to the project. While going through the mailing list for previous final applications, I came across this thread https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAPSxiM-kf8U=vzp5MoD3tUuOtnNjcCgPhLdriyeQo5CGf=EhyQ@mail.gmail.com/ (local)
Good you found this link.
where the main points regarding my questions were answered as follows. 1. We should use the link to the microprojects for the patch reviews as the contribution link. 2. We should specify the current status of the patch, 'master' or 'next' 3. Send the final application to the mailing list for review which should include an explanation of the project we want to tackle, links to the microprojects and a rough estimate of the project timeline.
Yeah, correct.
Is there any other information we should know of or is this good enough?
There is no further thing to do apart from the above. Importantly, ensure you record your contribution on the Outreachy page. Also, you can check this thread to understand the format for writing a proposal to the mailing list. https://public-inbox.org/git/CAPSxiM-YAAMwOvH8KYO+qKahCBHgw-NDb-eHJKNCZyk8xtpeGQ@mail.gmail.com/t/#u
Thank you.
Thank you.
