Hi! We have nearly missed the chance to apply for mentoring Google Summer of code (GSoC) projects...
> We'll begin accepting applications from open source mentoring organizations > on Monday, > March 3, 2008; we'll stop accepting organization applications on Wednesday, > March 12th That is tomorrow at 19.00 UTC GSoC main page: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/ Mentor hints including advice for ideas list: http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/AdviceforMentors An example of a previous successful Health-IT applicant: http://code.google.com/soc/2007/openmrs/about.html Last year I discussed a 2008 participation in GSoC with some of you in the community. I don't have a complete picture of what open source openEHR projects and possible mentors there are out there and I have not talked to people on the list (except myself and Rong) below, so see it as a start with the possibility add or remove mentors and project ideas: * Tom Beale (or others from ocean) - Ocean-initiated open source tools (ADL Workbench, .NET Archetype editor)... * Rong Chen - openEHR Java reference implementation and related tools... * Tim Cook - openEHR implementation in Python and related tools... * Erik Sundvall - LiU Archetype editor v 2.0 w/template editing (possibly web/flash-based), * Erik Sundvall - Adding clients and/or server features to the LiU REST based (java Restlets+XML Database) openEHR server/service implementation * Somebody from http://www.linkehr.com/ ? I'd suggest that potential mentors list 1-5 project ideas each on the newly created openEHR wiki-page... http://www.openehr.org/wiki/display/dev/GSoC2008 ...and that we'll link to that page in our application Who will be best suited to fill out the application form? Tom Beale maybe? http://code.google.com/soc/2008/org_signup.html I believe that we all could benefit from applying under the openEHR "umbrella" since only about 130 mentor organisations were accepted globally last year. I suggest the openEHR foundation would be the official applicant and should receive a decent part (30%?) of the mentoring USD 500 reimbursement for each accepted student before passing the remaining of the money on to respective mentors.
