Fwd: Google summer of code 2013

[Ivan Vučica]

Forwarding in case an interested developer is not following GNU's GSoC list.

Will we try to register as a mentoring organization? Or participate as part of the GNU project?

Regards,

Ivan Vučica

Hi hackers.

As it is usual, this year GNU will be applying to become a Google Summer
of Code [0] organization.  Provided we get selected I will be the org
admin and Giuseppe Scrivano will volunteer as the co-admin.

The (still empty) ideas page can be found at [1].  Now it is a matter of
filling it with interesting projects!  We will send the org application
to Google the 25 of March.  Until then, please follow the following
guidelines in order to submit 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.

Finally, if you want to propose an idea already proposed last year but
that was not implemented, please just point it out in
address@hidden and we will just move the correponding
description to this year's page.

Thanks! :)
