Is anybody interested in doing this? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ulrich Stärk <[email protected]> Date: 5 March 2013 15:26 Subject: Google Summer of Code 2013 To: [email protected]
Hello PMCs, Google Summer of Code [1] is the ideal opportunity for you to attract new contributors to your projects. The ASF will apply as a participating organization meaning individual projects don't have to apply separately. If you want to participate with your project you NOW need to - understand what it means to be a mentor [2]. - record your project ideas. Just create issues in JIRA, label them with gsoc2013, and they will show up at [3]. Please be as specific as possible when describing your idea. Include the programming language, the tools and skills required, but try not to scare potential students away. They are supposed to learn what's required before the program starts. Use labels, e.g. for the programming language (java, c, c++, erlang, python, brainfuck, ...) or technology area (cloud, xml, web, foo, bar, ...) and record them at [5]. Please use the COMDEV JIRA project for recording your ideas if your project doesn't use JIRA (e.g. httpd, ooo). Contact [email protected] if you need assistance. - subscribe to [email protected] (restricted to potential mentors, meant to be used as a private list - general discussions on the public [email protected] as much as possible please). Use a recognized address when subscribing (@apache.org or one of your alias addresses on record). Note that the ASF isn't accepted yet, nevertheless you *really* should start recording your ideas now. Over the years we were able to complete hundreds of projects successfully. Some of our prior students are active contributors now! Let's make this a success again this year! Uli P.S.: Except for the private parts (label spreadsheet mostly), this email is free to be shared publicly if you want to.
