Hi everyone, Congrats to all of you. You have been selected for the GSOC 2008!
I'm forwarding this email I sent on the xwiki dev list as I'm not sure you're all subscribed there. If not make sure you subscribe since this is the main communication tool. What are the next steps: * We strongly encourage you to blog about your participation to the GSOC and your experience. The more buzz the better for you and for the xwiki project ;) * Read http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/ and start mingling with the xwiki community. More specifically we would like that each of you pick one or several existing issues in JIRA (it can be simple ones) and send a patch that fixes it/them before that period ends (from now till May 26th) This is a critical integration step to ensure all SOC students understand how XWiki works and it's a chance to start asking questions and get to know each other. * Start preparing the architecture for your GSOC project and discuss your ideas on how to implement it on the xwiki dev mailing lists. Thanks again. We're thrilled to have you on board! -Vincent on behalf of the XWiki dev team Begin forwarded message: > From: Vincent Massol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: April 22, 2008 9:05:33 AM CEDT > To: XWiki Users <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, XWiki Developers <[email protected]> > Subject: [ANN] Official Google Summer of Code projects > > Hi everyone, > > Here's a great news: Google has given us 10 (yes ten!) slots this > year and here are the projects/students we have selected: > http://code.google.com/soc/2008/xwiki/about.html > > * SSO and OpenID Support > by Markus Lanthaler, mentored by Thomas Mortagne > > * REST API for XWIKI > by Cismaru Alexandru, mentored by Sergiu Gabriel Dumitriu > > * WebDAV Interface for XWiki > by Asiri Rathnayake, mentored by Ludovic Dubost > > * XWiki Watch: UI & ergonomics improvements > by Ecaterina Valică, mentored by Anca Paula Luca > > * XWiki Office import > by Wang Ning, mentored by Vincent Massol > > * XWiki Syntax validation, coloring and suggestion in XEclipse > by malaka, mentored by Fabio Mancinelli > > * Distributed XWiki Search Engine > by Sai Krishna Pendyala, mentored by David Ward > > * XWiki Offline project application > by Eduard Moraru, mentored by Sergiu Gabriel Dumitriu > > * Collaborative Business Drawing in GWT > by Miguel José Carvalho Bento, mentored by Jean-Vincent Drean > > * Presentation Application > by Arpit Jain, mentored by Jérôme Velociter > > Welcome aboard to all students!
