Description

Introduction

Open Source Promotion Plan (OSPP) is mentorship program organised by the Institute of Software Chinese Academy of Sciences and long-term supported by the Open Source Software Supply Chain Promotion Plan.

According to organisers:

*"It aims to encourage college students to actively participate in the maintenance and development of open source software, promote the vigorous development of open source software communities, and build the open source software supply chain together."*

KDE is considering including OSPP in our list of mentorship programs and in this task we will try and organise our participation for this year as a trial.

Goals

Very short term

  • Get at least one KDE project into the program

Short term

  • Offload development tasks to mentees

  • Increase number of mentorship programs we offer and the audience they are offered to

Long term

  • Grow community in China
  • Grow usage of KDE-based technologies in China at the end user, developer, corporate and institutional level
  • Increase number of Chinese contributors

Also, there is one additional thing. The organizers have asked for a video with all the project descriptions to be submitted by 28/04, and I'm willing to record it.

It will probably take about two days of work and I will script the video for it (maybe before 25/04). Since the video will be posted on a Chinese video site, I think it might be better to record it in Chinese. Also, I will insert Chinese and English subtitles.

This item is from the homepage of the OSPP Portal, not text.

Adding to the list of things TODO. Remember you can add/modify things yourself. Indeed, you should: you are the expert here.
