We have four potential ownCloud projects, each with mentor and backup-mentor. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_ideas#ownCloud
This is great and makes me hope that maybe next year we can actually apply as independent organization. Please have a look at the idea lists and comment things you don't like. There seems to be some confusion on how the process of GSoC works from now on, so I will point out some important steps: * During this week, each organization (in our case openSUSE) will send a general proposal to Google based on the ideas list. * Based on this application, Google will accept/reject the organization and, in case of acceptance, will assign a *limited* number of spots to each organization. OpenSUSE will probably get funding for ~12 students (based on statistics from previous years). This is to say that most likely not all four projects will go through, so at some point we will have to decide which student deserves it the most and which projects are actually important for ownCloud. The decision on which student proposal to accept will be taken by all mentors in openSUSE and not just by ownCloud people, so we will also have to convince openSUSE people that our projects are important for them as well. One more thing: the first step to become an independent organization is to create a permanent page where we put GSoC ideas and Junior Jobs all-year around. Where is the best place to do that? Should I use the wiki page on github? If yes, of which repo? Who has r+w access to it?
