Hi Peter & All,
DuraSpace plans to participate in GSoC again this year. DSpace has been
involved with GSoC since 2007. After forming DuraSpace, Fedora &
DuraCloud have also begun mentoring GSoC projects (as of 2011).
I know Evergreen also had a few GSoC projects last year. Beyond that,
I'm not sure which other code4lib-related orgs have been involved with
GSoC in years past.

Hi GSoC mentors and org admins,
We've announced that we're doing Google Summer of Code 2012 [1]. Yay!
If you would like to help spread the word about GSoC, we have presentations
[2], logos [3], and flyers [4] for you all to use this year. Please host
meetups, tell your friends and colleagues about the program, go to conferences,
talk to people about the program, and just generally do all the awesome
word-of-mouth stuff you do every year to promote the program. We rely on you
for your help, so thank you in advance for all the work you do!
Please consider translating the presentations and/or flyers into your native
language and submitting them directly to me to post on the wiki. Localization
for our material is integral to reaching the widest possible audience around
the world.
Please remember to take pictures at your meetup and write up a blog post for
our blog [4]. We love highlighting the GSoC community on our blog! Please also
considering translating the flyer or the presentation (or both) into your
native language and submitting it to me. The more languages our resources are
in, the better.
If you need goodies for a meetup you're holding in your area, please contact me
directly and let me know. I'd be happy to send along some promotional items.
Please let me know when you decide on a date, time, and location for a meetup
so I can put it on the calendar.
The GSoC calendar has been updated with this year's dates, so please refer to
that as well for important dates and deadlines. Please consider applying to
participate as an organization again this year or maybe joining as a mentor for
your favorite organization if they are selected this year.
