Hello analytics folks!
My name is Abel Serrano Juste (alias Quasipodo in Wikimedia, akronix in
Github).
I'm considering to do GSoC with WMF this summer and I'd like it to do it
with the analytics team as my recent experience is mainly in this topic.
For instance, I propose to implement this one:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T195033 as I'm already very familiar
with the topic (I'm the presentor of the talk which, eventually, opened
that ticket). However I am open to listen any other ideas / suggestions.
About me: I'm currently ending my master in Data Science and I should be
done by the middle of June. I have previously attended to a couple of
wikimedia hackathons and I'm familiar with mediawiki analysis and data
visualization (I'm the developer of WikiChron:
http://wikichron.science/
). I'm quite fluent in Python. You can have a look also to my github
profile:
https://github.com/Akronix/. <https://github.com/Akronix/>
Furthermore, I have been working for two years in the academia doing
research on wikis (smaller than wikipedia ones) and published some
articles on the matter:

Here are some information that GSoC mentors need to know, in case you
are not familiar with it:
* GSoC mentors are typically required to commit 4-5 hours per week,
per student
* GSoC mentor responsibilities

includes 'Selection process tips' which might help answer your
previous question about likelihood of selection)
Best wishes and take care,
