Hi all,

GNOME was accepted for GSoC! \\o//

Thanks to so many of you who've already listed project ideas [1]. It's not too 
late to add more ideas - please refer to two previous e-mails on the subject 
[2] [3]. Whether you are planning to mentor or not, it would be helpful to have 
more people hanging out in #gnome-love and #soc who can guide students and help 
them get up to speed with GNOME development. The application deadline for 
students is May 3.

If you are a mentor for an idea on the ideas page or are working with a student 
who is applying for GSoC, please subscribe to [email protected] [4] 
now to receive future communications. Also, please apply to be a mentor with 
GNOME in Google's system [5]. This will allow you to comment on applications 
once they start coming in. Even if you don't end up mentoring this summer, you 
will still receive a t-shirt!! (And let's admit it, this is what everyone here 
is after.)

In the next 3 1/2 weeks, please do your best to get to know the students 
applying to work with you as a mentor and help them become contributors to your 
project. A contribution to the module the student is applying to work on is 
required for an application to be considered.

Also, please be sure to redirect students to other ideas or mentors if you 
already have a strong student applying to work on the idea or already have as 
many strong students applying to work on the ideas you plan to mentor as you 
can handle. It's better to let students know to look elsewhere, than have them 
submit duplicate ideas.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Cheers,
Zeeshan Ali, Alexandre Franke, Christophe Fergeau, Fabiano Fidencio, Daniel 
Siegel, Marina Zhurakhinskaya
Your friendly GNOME GSoC Admins
