Dear Apertiumers:
Please read carefully
Jonathan Washington, Francis Tyers and I are putting together an
*application for Google Summer of Code 2019*
(https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/). The deadline is fast approaching
(Wednesday February 6, 2019 20:00 UTC).
As president of the Project Management Committee of Apertium, I cannot
insist enough on how important it is for our organization to be a member
of Google Summer of Code each year. It brings new developers to
Apertium, who improve it massively, and it brings money to our account
(as mentors usually decide to donate their pay). This money is then
available to pay for servers, or to send people to conferences to
present their Apertium work.
But to put together the application we need *mentors* and *ideas.*
There is an *ideas* page in our wiki:
http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Ideas_for_Google_Summer_of_Code
The page has also an interesting discussion attached (click on the
discussion tab).
Those of you who are considering to *mentor* Google Summer of Code
students this spring/summer, please read the ideas page and:
(1) see if there is an idea that you would like to be a mentor for, or
(2) think of a new idea (complete description, coding challenge,etc.)
which you would like to mentor and write it up.
And write to us.
I believe any experienced Apertium developer can help.
Ideas without mentors will be removed at application time.
Thank you very much,
Mikel L. Forcada
President of the Apertium Project Management Commitee.
