Resources for Mentees¶
Google Summer of Code Contributor/Student Guide¶
The guide covers how to find projects, write good proposals, work with mentors effectively, handle feedback and criticism, manage time across different zones, and recover when things go wrong. There's a whole section on "working with your mentor" that explains how contributors should communicate, ask for help, and handle disagreements.
Outreachy Applicant Guide¶
This guide covers similar topics to Google Summer of Code's guide, but also provides insights on what level of experience program organizers expect you to have, how to engage with mentors in the contribution period and what to expect from the application process.

This blog post by Michał Stęchły goes into details about what screening tasks and criteria they use to select mentees.
