Google Summer of Code - mentorship application from Open Research Institute
Open Research Institute is looking to apply as a mentor in the Google Summer of Code program. I believe participation can greatly benefit the amateur satellite service. Special thanks to Wally Ritchie for suggesting this path, and to Bruce Perens and Ben Hilburn for their support and approval.
Details about the program can be found here: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/
If approved, it would mean we would mentor student(s), at least once a week, coordinating efforts to produce engineering in support of achieving technical goals.
This is a significant time commitment, but we have plenty of really interesting and meaningful options for students to work on.
In order to apply, we need volunteers that can commit to working with students. As of today, we have four enthusiastic volunteers that cover a wide variety of technical fields. We are looking for more. AMSAT-BB is full of truly wonderful and qualified people.
The deadline is 5 February 2020. If you can help with this, let us know!

While I applaud your efforts, exactly how is this relevant to amateur satellites and being sent to the AMSAT-BB?
Last time I checked we were AMSAT not ORI?
Was spamming the physical mailing list with ORI letter headed "propaganda" not enough? Certainly, you have other means of publicizing, rather than spamming us on the AMSAT-BB and violating the terms of use For someone who throws a lot of unfounded accusations at others, you seem to do a lot of shady stuff. I thought a Board member would know better.

Thanks Michelle,
What a great opportunity for amateur radio folks to make a real difference in young people and introduce them to our part of the hobby that involves coding, SDR, etc. Thanks for doing this and making us aware of these opportunities. That's right in line with "services that present an opportunity for self-training, intercommunication, and technical investigations a foundation of amateur radio" plus all the STEM that comes with it. Very nice and since it is open, it is accessible.
As with all great ideas, you will unfortunately be confronted with personal attacks and unfounded accusations. Glad you are sticking with it!

Greetings Tucker,
The work we would enable through GSoC, by mentoring students, would be amateur satellite communications work.
Open Research Institute is a Member Society of AMSAT-NA.

I think this is a great opportunity for AMSAT, ORI, students, and amateur radio. I strongly encourage and support this outreach effort.
