Final Report Instructions
The report must have A4 paper geometry with 12pt font-size.
The pages, sections and figures must be enumerated. Maximum of 5000 words.
These limits don't include cover, indexes nor appendices.
The report must be well structured.
One example of a suitable format is:
- Cover
Title / Author / Date
- Mentors Page
Page for the mentors to sign and make the necessary comments (namely a declaration confirming
the student has evidenced certain knowledge throughout the summer and worked the
declared hours). Note that this is mandatory.
- Abstract
A brief summary of approximately 250 words. Note that this is mandatory.
- Preface
Explaining when, where, and why the project was carried out, and thanking those who helped.
- Table of contents
- Introduction
Introduction to the done work, and description of the objectives during the summer.
Short background, issue and aim, as well as the structure of the report.
- Methodology
Theories, tools, etc., that were applied in the project.
Description of used technologies as well as discarded alternatives.
- Results
- Discusssion and conclusion
Reflection on whether the aim was fulfilled, and on the opportunities
for further development. Critical review and discussion of the results.
- References
In order to enable the reader to review the project and go to the original sources
on which the material is based, the report needs a good reference list.
Continuously filling in the reference list can save you a lot of time
compared to doing everything at the end.
- Appendices
Extensive data material that is relevant to the work, but too large
to incorporate into the text, can be included in an appendix.

The graphic designIt is better to concentrate more on the content of the report than on the design. Customise the layout to fit the content rather than the other way around.
Quick reminder that the GNU social Summer of Code 2020 assessing week has started! You should have opened your Merge Requests by now. Additionally, if you're on GSoC, you need to fill Google's forms.
Best wishes!
Quick reminder that the GNU social Summer of Code 2020 assessing week has started! You should have opened your Merge Requests by now. Additionally, we need you to fill two forms (check your email inbox!).
These two forms together will only take 10 minutes to complete and are REQUIRED - don't miss the deadline and fail GS SoC because you didn't take 10 minutes to complete the evaluation.
Deadline for students to complete the evaluation form is Thursday, July 2nd at 17:00 (GMT+1).
Best wishes!
Important Note:
Congrats to you all on maintaining a sensible amount of hours to work with in this final June's week, this was specially important in this exams season of yours.
This system based on debitable hours per week was a special case due to distributing work with May in order to make it up for exams.
This is not how it will work in the next two months. As was stated in the work schedule explanation, there's
a closed interval of hours that we expect you to work per week. Hence, the freedom you had this month regarding transferring work
from a week to another will soon be significantly reduced.
That being said, it's also now opportune to kindly remind you of our assessing framework,
please note that hours is not even part of what we use to assess, i.e., working more or less hours isn't really considered,
that's just a formal requirement, we care about results. The parameters you will be graded on are:
- Autonomy (Have you bothered the mentors beyong what's healthy?);
- Objectives satisfaction (Have you done all the tasks you were assigned in the roadmap?);
- Difficulty (Were these tasks hard?).
By the end of this week, GSoC assessment will start. Best of work nailing it! :)

Poll results:
The FE prospective students had to write a new landing page as part of their Proof of Competence, we're now running a poll in our IRC channel to decide which one will replace the existing one at gnusocial.network.
Students who haven't finished their proof of competence are allowed to further work until --04-10. After that we won't consider any further work in the assessment process. Results will be announced in --05-04.
