If you are not a student trying to apply for Google Summer of Code 2009, you can stop reading now.
This is a long and important email. Read it completely before taking action. Make sure you understand what action is required from you. If you have questions, ask them in this thread. Take the actions required below. *NOW*. The reason for this urgent and important task is a mail from Google's Open Source Program Office (GOSPO). Many organizations, like us, help you prepare your application outside the webapp, so that when you fill in the webapp it already makes sense (and we can filter application spam better). The drawback: the people at GOSPO don't know how many applications are in the pipeline. They need to know that. Because of the tight deadlines, it is *imperative* that you do this *now*. Even if you have not finished with the required qualification tasks, or if your proposal is not finished. The steps below are designed to set you up in a position to continue working on your application while giving GOSPO the information it needs. At the end you should have: - an account with Google's webapp - an account with our wiki - a proposal page on our wiki (where you can continue to work in more detail) - an application on Google's webapp. INSTRUCTIONS 1. If you don't have an account in Google's webapp yet, point your browser to <http://socghop.appspot.com/student/apply/google/gsoc2009> *now* and get yourself a LinkID. Note down that LinkID, you'll need it later. 2. If you don't have an account on the panotools wiki yet, point your browser to <http://wiki.panotools.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup> *now* and get yourself a wiki account. 3. In the wiki, log on to <http://wiki.panotools.org/SoC_2009_student_proposals>. Copy the "Tom Templeton" template *to the end* of the list and edit it to be yours. Do this quickly and save - the Wiki does not deal well with multiple users editing the same page. Important: in your entry in the list, add a link to a new, empty (red link) wiki page. I did that for the students already linked. For example, if your name is Tom Templeton, and you would like to work on porting Hugin to the SONY Playstation, you would enter, [[SoC2009_Tom_Templeton | Hugin on the SONY Playstation]] or more general: [[SoC2009_yourFirstName_yourLastName | yourProjectProposalTitle]] 4. Point your browser to the following page in Google's webapp: <http://socghop.appspot.com/student_proposal/apply/google/gsoc2009/*your LinkID*?organization=hugin> (replace *yourLinkID* with the appropriate value), and set up your application. 5. try to fill as much as you can in the Google Application template. Make sure you put a reference to your Wiki page, e.g. if you are Tom Templeton, you will want to have the following link in your application: http://wiki.panotools.org/SoC2009_Tom_Templeton if you followed the instrction so far, you will want to link to http://wiki.panotools.org/SoC2009_yourFirstName_yourLastName 6. Thank you! You can continue to work on your proposal on the linked wiki page. Please do this ASAP. I am now going to eat dinner. After dinner I will be back online to answer questions and to process all the messages I have not read/processed from this mailing list in the past two days.
