[docbook-apps] GSoC Application

2013-04-08 Thread Richard Hamilton
Looks like odd-numbered years are not good for DocBook at GSoC.

Our application for this year's GSoC program was rejected.

Thanks to everyone who volunteered to be a mentor and for the interest from 
prospective students. I hope that some of the ideas generated for this year's 
program can get implemented in other ways. If not, they can form the basis for 
another try next year.

Best Regards,
Dick Hamilton

That's sad news indeed. Please don't read to much into that decision
though (such as how our ideas page could have been at fault); the
decisions whether or not to accept an organization aren't entirely
deterministic, AFAICT...

Indeed, let's hope all the enthusiasm and work that went into preparing
and discussing ideas so far wasn't wasted.

[docbook-apps] GSoC application submitted

2012-03-09 Thread Richard Hamilton
I just submitted the 2012 GSoC proposal for the DocBook project. You can find 
the proposal and other information about the program at 
http://docbook.xmlpress.net.

Thanks to everyone who contributed, especially those of you who volunteered to 
mentor.

There is still time to add your name to the mentor list and to add proposals to 
the idea page. Even if you can't mentor, please check out the site and see what 
the program is about.

Best Regards,
Dick Hamilton

[docbook-apps] GSoC application ready for review

2012-03-05 Thread Richard Hamilton
I just updated the Google Summer of Code application at:

http://docbook.xmlpress.net/tiki-index.php?page=application

Please take a few moments and look it over. It is accessible to read by anyone.

You can send comments by replying to this message, or directly in the wiki (if 
you are registered).

The deadline for applications is this Friday, and I would like to get all 
comments by Thursday if at all possible.

Many thanks to Kasun Gajasinghe for preparing the page and filling in most of 
it.

Best Regards,
Dick Hamilton
