Hi All, I am giving a talk on Tuesday about Student Engagement with Apache Projects - http://na.apachecon.com/schedule/presentation/134/. As I polish my slides, I realize the improvements on GSOC will be a great topic to brainstorm in this session.
Any volunteers to help me with this talk? I realize its last minute, but if Norin or Uli would like to summarize GSOC in this session that will be great as well. I will be traveling today to Portland but available all day tomorrow if we can chat in person.
