Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Google Summer of Code: We're in!

What are the deadlines for applying as a mentor/participant for a Gnu Radio GSOC sub-project? How does one go about getting involved?

Thanks,

Ranga

Thanks Martin, those were my guesses as well. I just wanted to make sure that I didn't miss something. I don't understand, either, the reason why there is not a MASSIVE number of applications. Could it be lack of advertisement? Fear of not being "good enough"? Students having a life?

Lets try to improve the figures this year!

Best regards,
Carles

Different orgs did get different # of slots in the past. However,
there's no official description re. the slot allocation; I assume Google
takes all the available info (# of mentors, # of ideas, amount of $$$,
random other facts) and then decides somehow.

It's not that easy to fill lots of slots, though, despite GSoC probably
being the best thing a student can do over summer. Orgs will probably
have to earn the right to get lots of slots, having to prove they can
handle it.

All of this is guesswork, though!
