Subject: [gnu-prog-discuss] GNU at Google Summer of Code 2014 - submit project ideas!
To:
address@hidden
Hi hackers.
New year, new GSOC :)
We just sent the application questionnaire for GNU to Google.
A new ideas page was also created at
http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2014.html
Lets hope Google will accept us as a mentoring organization... In the
meanwhile it is time to gather project ideas:
- If you are an eligible student and have an idea that is not listed
here, you should propose it normally through the Google Summer of Code
web site (after applications are open). Please discuss it with the
package maintainers.
- If you are a GNU package developer, have an idea for a Summer of Code
project for your own package, and can mentor it yourself, please email
the idea at
address@hidden and one of the administrators will
add it. (Simple HTML fragment in plain text preferred.) Please also
recruit a backup mentor and tell us who that will be. Make sure that
the description of your idea contains enough information (perhaps in
the form of pointers to other information or mailing lists) for
students to research the feasibility of them implementing your
idea. More info.
- In all other cases (e.g., you are a developer with an idea for another
package), please contact the maintainer for the package. If you can
find a mentor for the project (or, hopefully, can mentor it yourself),
then we will add it if it is feasible. The project must meet the
Summer of Code criteria; see the guidelines.
Note that the instructions above are for projects willing to participate
under the GNU umbrella. Alternatively your GNU program can also apply
as a mentoring organization for GSOC.
Important: if your project applies separately as a mentoring
organization and is _not_ selected then you will still be able to
participate under GNUs umbrella: just send an email to
address@hidden as soon as Google publishes the selected orgs and
we will add your project ideas to our ideas page.
