Hi Tim,
Graham submitted the application yesterday. It's almost same as
thishttp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2010/Organisation_Application.
The portal is open for editing till March 12'10 .
We are still looking for more project ideas, and volunteers for mentoring,
if you have some ideas or anybody from OSM community has them, please feel
free to edit GSoC Project Ideas
2010http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GSoC_Project_Ideas_2010page.
Thanks,
Rajan

Hi There,
It will soon be time for OpenStreetMap to apply to join the 2010 Google
Summer of Code Programme. This gives students the opportunity to work
on
open source projects during the summer, for which they receive some
payment
by Google. It costs us nothing more than providing a Mentor to guide
the
student.
It would be really useful if we could put together a list of potential
student projects to get potential applicants thinking. The projects
need
to be fairly well defined to make it easy to judge 'success', so it is
good
to have specific targets.
From recent discussions on these lists I have identified the following
possibilities so far:
Develop a stand alone 'Newbie'/'Introductory'/'Lite' Editor - the
priority
is ease of use rather than functionality.
Help with the development of Potlatch 2 (maybe to include the 'lite'
editor
functionality) - we would need to help the applicants identify specific
targets.
Develop a simple 'mapping tool' for mobile phones to easily collect GPX
traces, geotagged images and geotagged audio clips. Ideally it should be
capable of running on both Android, J2ME and Iphones, so you can have the
same simple application no matter what sort of phone you use.
Improve the usability of a simple mobile phone map editing application
(such
as vespucci for android).
Incorporation of OSM data and traffic data.
I am sure there are other things that I am not familiar with too - would
it
be useful for someone to do some work on tools to process OSM data in
some
way, or are there any tasks on the OSM server itself that could be turned
into projects?
Please will you give some thought to other possibilities and either add
them
to the GSoC 2010 Wiki Page
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2010) or reply
by
email if you prefer.
Thanks
Graham.
