As long as it's been brought up here: Yes, the PSF is applying. Google has been deliberately stirring things up in the last couple of years, so no promises, but it is very likely that we will be approved and core Python will have at least two slots allocated (although I'm not sure core Python even has a suborg admin yet, Terri will recruit someone).
Please see the Wiki page at https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2016 for more details. To contact the org admins (for wiki permissions and to join the mentors' mailing list), use the python.org mailbox gsoc-admins. core-mentorship is a good place to recruit students as well as to get advice on mentoring (or mentor-mentoring, if you're a suborg admin with new mentors). @Victor: I agree with you that implementing FATPython optimizations is a good student-level project, and one that is likely to attract continuing participation. You should get in touch with the admins[1] about updating the wiki page at: https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2016/python-core. It's looking kinda lonely at the moment. Note that we can still add suborgs and projects after we've been approved (in 2-3 weeks) up to March 7, but the more projects and the more attractive they are, the better our chances of being accepted, and the better the students we'll attract. Footnotes: [1] I'm an assistant admin, but just recovering from Faculty Hell Month and a nasty cold, and don't have a handle on my own tools yet. Somebody else is likely to get to it more quickly. :-( _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
