George, thanks for being proactive about this Several students are participating as part of GSoC this year, under the umbrella of the Debian project One thing that would help a lot is increasing the pool of mentors, some students are sharing a mentor at the moment. If you or anybody else with C, C++ or Python experience can volunteer as a mentor, please contact me privately. Another thing I would encourage is joining the Free-RTC mailing list, that is where we discuss some of the more strategic possibilities with free software, not just limited to Telepathy: https://lists.fsfe.org/mailman/listinfo/free-rtc _______________________________________________ telepathy mailing list telepathy@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/telepathy
