Hi all, DuraSpace is applying to become a Mentoring Organization for Google Summer of Code 2011!
Although we are not guaranteed to be accepted into GSoC 2011, I feel hopeful as we've taken part in GSoC from 2007-2010. So I'd like to begin some early preparation as the GSoC 2011 timeline moves rather quickly. Full GSoC 2011 Timeline: http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/timeline GSoC 2011 FAQ: http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/faqs At this point in time, we are looking both for early GSoC Project Ideas and interested mentors (or co-mentors) for DSpace. Project ideas can come from anyone in the community, but *must* involve actually writing code (as this is what GSoC is all about!). They should also be scoped such that they can be completed within a summer. Feel free to add your project ideas to this wiki page: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Google+Summer+of+Code+Ideas Mentors should be an active DSpace community developer. It is not required that you be a DSpace Committer, but it is recommended that you try to find a Committer who is willing to "sponsor" the project (essentially the Committer will help us try to get the finished code into DSpace, if possible). If you are not a Committer, but want to be a GSoC Mentor, I can also work with you to find someone to "sponsor" your project. If you are interested in mentoring this year, please add your name to this list (also feel free to note potential GSoC projects you'd be interested in mentoring): https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Google+Summer+of+Code#GoogleSummerofCode-2011InterestedMentors If you have any questions, just ask! We'll know whether or not we've been accepted to GSoC 2011 on Friday, March 18. Assuming we are accepted into GSoC, we'll continue to accept project ideas all the way until March 27th. - Tim -- Tim Donohue Technical Lead for DSpace Project DuraSpace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ Dspace-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-devel
