Hi folks,

I know many people have been busy with the UI freeze work earlier, and just 
wanted to remind again to add ideas you are willing to mentor in GSoC to 
https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreach/SummerOfCode/2015/Ideas as soon as possible. 
GNOME applied to be a mentoring organization on Friday, and it would be good to 
have more ideas on our ideas page as Google evaluates it. The participating 
organizations will be announced next Monday.

Thanks,
Marina

Dear GNOME hackers,

It's that time of the year again: Google Summer of Code is approaching. We've 
updated our program pages [1] to have the latest information and we need your 
help in creating a list of great project ideas. It's essential that we have a 
well-prepared ideas page when GNOME applies as a mentoring organization by next 
Friday, February 20.

So what should you do? Please visit the ideas page [2] and enter your project 
ideas under the "Untriaged Ideas" section.

 * Discuss your ideas with designers in #gnome-design to get their input and 
plan collaboration, especially if your ideas are related to one of the core 
GNOME modules. If you are not sure who to speak to, start with Allan Day (aday).
 * Consider manageable ideas consisting of multiple smaller features that share 
a common theme, in addition to single large feature ideas. See the information 
for mentors page [3] for more on preferred project formats and other mentoring 
resources.

If you are interested in being a mentor this year or at any point find yourself 
drafted to be one, please join soc-mentors-list [4] to receive future 
communications about GNOME's participation in GSoC, including the information 
about important deadlines.

The GNOME administrators for GSoC participation this year are Alexandre Franke, 
Christophe Fergeau, Ekaterina Gerasimova, Lasse Schuirmann, and Marina 
Zhurakhinskaya. Big thank you to Fabiano Fidencio, who was an administrator for 
the last two years! Welcome to Lasse Schuirmann, who was a GSoC participant 
last year!

Cheers,
The GNOME Google Summer of Code Administrators
