brsvh added a comment to T17439: KDE Needs You! 🫵 - Formalize and boost KDE's processes for recruiting active contributors.

Here, I will only introduce some of my ideas, which may be applicable only in China.

    1. Collaborate with External Organizations

      This is an insteresting topic, and in China, it is somewhat feasible.

      Based on my past experiences, primarily from myself and those who, like me, sought external mentors for their final projects. Most Chinese universities allow students to find external mentors and independently decide on their graduation projects.

      The usual restrictions are:
  • The mentor typically needs to have a certain academic degree, preferably a Doctorate.

Are these for projects like end of course dissertations and PhDs?

I mean bachelor thesis.

Apart from this, there are basically no additional costs for external guidance. The challenge lies in how to connect with potential students and find suitable mentors for them.

In collaboration with university professors, in most Chinese C.S. and S.E. programs, courses like "Linux Application Design" mainly using GTK and Qt for software design, are often offered. If we can break down various medium to low difficulty tasks from community software each year, we could try to find suitable professors to incorporate these as optional coding assignments.

That sounds like a good plan.

However, collaborating directly with universities in China is very challenging. It usually requires significant commitments, including guaranteed internship quotas and mentoring promises.

Ok. Do conditions change from university to university?

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.

Would it be better for KDE Network India and KDE Network China to join the summit together?

Another thing is whether we need to have a public page to showcase the event, it was mainly used for local promotion in China in early October.
It is also for storing some media resources that shots taken during our final event, maybe a new page on https://community.kde.org/?

Do you have a blog? We can share the details as a story on your blog and share it on https://planet.kde.org/ or share it on https://dot.kde.org/.
