Hey Sally & Co., this year we won't forget to provide you with some infos on our GSoC endeavours. Yesterday, we have been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2012 [1],[2]. This means that over the summer, our committers will mentor students that are sponsored by Google and will be working on our projects. The program helps us not only to get some code written but also to introduce students into open source development and hopefully recruit some new long-term committers. More information on the program is available at [3]. Students are now encouraged to discuss ideas with the respective projects and begin drafting proposals. An extensive list of already existing project ideas is available at [4]. The actual application phase is from 03/26 until 04/06, Coding will take place from 05/21 to 08/20. See [5] for the detailed timeline.
Can you please run any press release past us (dev@community.apache.org) before publishing?
