I am writing a proposal and it requires a confirmation from my school
because I use gsoc for internship. Therefore, what should I show for
the confirmation ? Is an email enough ?
I think the school knows better than us what they need?
Note that we can't really provide anything for GSoC participation until
the student selection process is complete, so you would have to wait until
May 4.
Sorry, I misunderstood this. I read the application page now and see what you
are referring to:
Are you using Google Summer of Code to fullfill a university requirement --
internship, class credit, ..? (If yes, you need to provide confirmation that
your school approves. Remember, Google Summer of Code is a remote software
development internship.)
So, here is the detailed story about this.
A few years ago, one student applied to Haiku for GSoC. He was a great student
with a good application. He made a lot of efforts to get his project going in
the right direction. He even had agreement from one of his teachers that doing
GSoC as an internship was ok.
But, ultimately, the university rejected it as a valid internship. He had to
find another one, and of course didn't have enough time to continue with GSoC
after that.
Of course we don't want this to happen again. It was bad for the student, and
it was bad for us as if we had known, we would have picked another student
instead.
So, there does not need to be any formal proof on our side, an e-mail from the
university will do. Just be very sure they understand what GSoC is (in
particular, that you will be working remotely from home), and that you won't
have to find another internship at hte last minute.
