Yeh maybe but it's accurate. Why exactly do you think the 3rd party license server application isn't in the spirit of the SOC? It's a 3rd party resource that is there for the benefit of the community and it's developers so they can also monetize the work they are developing for Asterisk ensuring reliable and accurate licensing apps?

I would like to apply again this year. I think it is an amazing opportunity to reach out to new developers and get some code written that we all want done, but have not had a chance to get to. http://code.google.com/soc/ If we want to make this happen, we have a couple of things that we need to come up with as soon as possible. Mentoring organizations must complete their application for the program this week. 1) We need to determine who is willing to serve as a mentor from the Asterisk project. Mentors will be paired up with a student and will provide guidance to help the student bring their project to completion. Without commitments from mentors, we can not participate in the program. Obviously, an appropriate pairing of a mentor to a student is important. It's acceptable to say, "I am willing to be a mentor, provided that it is for a student working on a project in my area of expertise." If you think you would be interested, please let me know! Feel free to respond on this list, or to me directly. 2) We must build a suggested project list. When students apply for the program, they can submit a proposal for implementing one of our suggested projects, or another project of their choosing. Projects for this list should be appropriate in scope for a college student not yet familiar with the code base to implement in a Summer. I'm going to create a file in svn to maintain our project ideas list: - svn/asterisk/trunk/doc/google-soc2009-ideas.txt To kick of the list of ideas, here are a couple of high level thoughts: a) I think we could break up the "PineMango" project into multiple suggested projects. b) John Todd and others had some great ideas regarding security in Asterisk at the last developer conference that could be turned into suggested projects. If you have some thoughts about other projects to add to the list, again, please let me know, and I'll add them to our ideas list. Thanks! -- Russell Bryant Digium, Inc. | Senior Software Engineer, Open Source Team Lead 445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville, AL 35806 - USA Check us out at: www.digium.com & www.asterisk.org _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-dev mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
