All, Just a note that the DuraSpace team has been updating our wiki in preparation to apply for GSoC 2012:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/GSOC We now also have 2012 GSoC "Ideas pages" up for all our technologies. So, if you already have brainstorms for potential GSoC projects, please add them to one of the following pages, as appropriate: * DSpace: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/GSOC/DSpace+Summer+of+Code+Ideas * Fedora: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/GSOC/Fedora+Summer+of+Code+Ideas * DuraCloud: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/GSOC/DuraCloud+Summer+of+Code+Ideas Any ideas/brainstorms are welcome! - Tim On 2/6/2012 1:11 PM, Tim Donohue wrote: > Hi all, > > Just forwarding on the announcement of Google Summer of Code 2012. > > DuraSpace plans to apply as a Mentoring Organization yet again this year. > > So, we'd encourage everyone to start brainstorming potential project > ideas & thinking about whether you'd be interested in mentoring a > student project this year. > > Also, if you work at a University, please consider helping to advertise > GSoC.
