Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [Wikitech-l] GSoC announcement of students for 2012
Ashwin, per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_Past_Projects
, some of our past GSoC students have continued to help the Wikimedia
technical community, and some have been less permanent. Students who
know that their work is desired by the community and who experience the
joy of personal engagement are more likely to stick around. So please
help me by inviting these students to local meetups and keeping an eye
on their projects. This applies to this year's students as well as
previous students Ankit Garg, Akshay Agarwal, Devayon Das (who spoke at
the conference in Mumbai last year), etc. Yuvi is a great success story
here. :)
The blog post
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/04/23/wmf-selects-9-students-for-gsoc/
gives you some pages where the students welcome comment. Some more links:
* http://greensmw.wordpress.com - Nischay Nachata (working on SMW)
* http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-May/060477.html -
Akshay Chugh (making a conference/convention extension for MediaWiki)
* http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-May/060495.html -
Robin Pepermans (working on the Incubator)
* http://www.harryburt.co.uk/blog/ - Harry Burt (working on translating
SVG files)
Thanks for your support!

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [Wikitech-l] GSoC announcement of students for 2012
This is great news. It has been my experience that GSOC helps add to the
skill-sets and experience of Wikipedians in India who are then able to help
the community deal with technical issues and even construct special tools
if required. YuviPanda and his Assessment Bar come to mind.
Congratulations, the five of you. Do us proud.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur
