Recycling last years email on the topic. All dates and links updated. It would be cool if we could get this out asap. Is there anything else you need?
Uli -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Apache Software Foundation accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2012 Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2012 23:21:40 +0100 From: Ulrich Stärk <u...@spielviel.de> To: pr...@apache.org CC: dev@community.apache.org 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 2013 [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 April 24 until May 3, coding will take place from June 17 to September 23. See [5] for the detailed timeline. Can you please run any press release past us (dev@community.apache.org) before publishing?
