 Hi all,

 Google Summer of Code is a program organized by Google giving organizations
 in open source opportunity to pay students to work on open source projects.

 Many successful students become contributors after the projects ends. Also,
 participating in GSOC is a healthy sign of an open source project.

 Below is a wiki entry of ideas that a student would accomplish in 3 months.
 The deadline to apply as an organization is tomorrow, I'm willing to do
 that step, but we have to produce a list of ideas with potential mentors by
 tomorrow afternoon (18:00 UTC).

 https://nixos.org/wiki/GSOC_2014_ideas_list

 Maybe to get a better idea, take a peek at Google's list
 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2013/Ideas

 Disclaimer: I've participated in GSOC for 4 years as a student and I feel
 like it's time to step at the other side :-)

I've also participated in SoC - it's a fantastic project. I've been a
student twice and a mentor twice. I would be happy to help mentor a
student with NixOS this year.

Very cool, thanks!

I've added one idea to the list (improving lightweight container support).

Thank you all for submitted ideas!

There are many organizations applying each year, but let's hope for the
best :-)

Hi Domen,

This is a great idea, thanks for doing it! I've added some ideas to the
wiki, but I'd love to be a mentor for pretty much anything.
