Contact info
Debian SoC coordinator: Baruch Even baruch@debian.org
Students who have any issue with their mentor or a mentor who has an issue with their student should contact the coordinator to help resolve it.
A project was opened for the SoC on Alioth at http://alioth.debian.org/projects/soc/
Coordination is done on the mailing list [http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/soc-coordination/ soc-coordination]
Infrastructure Provided to Students
Students are required to keep their development in the open, it is recommended that you use Alioth for your source control repository, you can use the [http://alioth.debian.org/projects/soc/ soc project] for your repository.
Most Debian development happens in the open already, so you will find a wealth of information on mailing lists and IRC, your mentor should be able to direct you to the proper resources.
