But if we identify one or two volunteers willing to drive this, participating in Summer of Code would be much easier. Fortunately we don't need very much organization at the project level. Most of the work is done by the ongoing mentors. But we do need someone to do the following project-level things: 1) Subscribe to d...@community.apache.org so they are aware of GSoC-related announcements and discussions 2) Keep the project reminded about deadlines 3) Push for any needed project-wide decisions. For example, the PMC may be required to approve any GSoC mentors representing the project. But once the GSoC program starts, the students do most of the work, with the mentors providing consultations and review. -Rob Regards, Andrea. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

My recommendation is to *not* wait for an ASF announcement calling for proposals, but to start thinking about possible projects now. My guess is we'll need to have proposals ready before April. So this this is coming sooner than you think. I mentored a student in the ODF Toolkit project last summer, so feel free to ask me what is involved. yes, probably a good ideato start early. I am interested to mentor a Eclipse plugin project similar to the NetBeans plugin. OK. I created a page on the wiki -- MWiki this time, see Jan? ;-).
