All,

Google Summer of Code 2010 is rapidly approaching.  In fact, the 
Mentoring Organization application process is next week (March 8-12)!

GSOC 2010 FAQ:

In past years, DSpace has been accepted as a GSOC Mentoring 
Organization, and several interesting student projects have been 
implemented.  See the following page for our GSOC 2009 work:

http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code

We also have an ongoing list of GSOC project ideas (you can add to it if 
you wish):

Before we apply for GSOC 2010, I want to be sure that we have 
individuals who are willing and able to act as mentors for student 
projects.  So far, discussions in our DSpace Developer meetings have 
found very few volunteers.

(1) Do we have any interested volunteers who would like to mentor (or 
co-mentor) a student for a GSOC 2010 project?   You need not be a DSpace 
Committer, but you likely should be a developer of some sort.

(2) Would anyone volunteer to help act as the DSpace GSOC 
Co-Administrator?  I'll gladly take on some of these duties, but I'd 
like to have a backup/co-admin to help out.

Assuming we have a decent group of interested (or potentially 
interested) volunteers, we'll put in an application next week to become 
a GSOC 2010 mentoring organization.
