I think it would be great if fvwm could apply as a mentoring organization in
this year's GSOC. I would be interested in working as a student on fvwm if
anyone has the time to mentor me. This will most likely be the last summer
I'll be eligible to participate as a student, and I'd really like to work
with fvwm full time this summer.
And so to go back to roots...
Assuming no one else on this list objects, I am going to step up to
this and nominate myself as an official point of contact for this --
including writing a proposal for FVWM -- at least I assume that's what
I would have to do. I actually have the time to devote to this which
is nice, and something I'd like to do.
Sounds great.
Viktor, do you have information I would need to fill out to support
FVWM's chances for GSOC this year?
I'm not sure what kind of information you are after. I take it that you
have seen the GSoC FAQ[1].
The critical point of the application as I see it is to have a backup
administrator, and at least an additional mentor to have some plan on what
to do if you disappear. Other than that most questions should be
relativley straight forward to answer. I'd like all contributions to be
licensed GPL2+ so that any code produced by GSoC can be used both before
and after an upgrade to GPL3 without getting additional permissions from
the students.
We should flesh out a preliminary ideas page and put somewhere on fvwm-web
as well, since that is needed for the application.
