What are the qualities and experiences do you look for while inducting first-year students?

Qualities:- bankable, simplicity, straightforwardness, zeal Experiences:- It's really hard to say, I don't think 1 semester is enough to get experience. It might happen he is here for experience.

What are some good red-flags would you use to remove false positives?

Asking non generic question which will lead people to show their inner self.like "what brings you supreme happiness".

How do you present KOSS to them i.e. how would KOSS generate value for them?

KOSS will provide a good environment to you if you want to develop something.

How do you plan to spend the year with them, especially the first few months?

I want to involve them in weekly hackdays. This is how I want to interact with them. That's 2-3 people I talked about on day 1. I would have really loved that.

How should we increase the communication between new people and the old members ?

Seniors should voluntarily meet them, not direct but in more subtle ways like koss internal sessions. They should give more treat.

Does having a room help?

Yeah definitely(with lan connections or good wifi). We can add some hardware projects as well.

What are some crucial problems and how can we solve them?

One of the most important point is knowledge transfer, this is how any society grow or decline. We need some long drafts of ideas(written or audio or video), gsoc experiences to the very specifics from the first cloning to gsoc's last commit and after that. not just general vague symbolism. Because your experience might be helpful, even after you pass.
