Re: [OSM-dev] Application for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2017

Hi all,

so I applied for this year's GSoC today and started to setup and update
the wiki pages accordingly. The deadline for organisations to apply is
February 9th and after that Google will review our application. What I'd
need from you is starting to collect ideas and to step up and mentor for
those projects.

So please add your ideas to the project ideas wiki page, or discuss your
ideas here or on irc (#osm-gsoc) or write a mail to me. I had a few
private discussions with possible mentors that will add ideas, but we
should have more to have a larger variety. 

Please add your ideas here:

[OSM-dev] Application for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2017

2017-01-12 Thread Peter Barth 
Hi all,

in less than a week the time slot for organizations to apply for
this year's Google Summer of Code opens. In my opinion our
participation last year (and the years before) had been a
success. We got a bunch of coding done, we also got new students
that stick with our great project and community and our
organization got some money, too. I also did a survey the year
before last, asking all mentors what they think about the output
of GSoC, about their students and especially if they think we
should reapply: Everyone did think so. I also did a survey last 
year; it's also been unanimous to apply again but with not so
much mentors participating in my survey.

Anyways, I'm suggesting to apply again this year and I'm again
willing to do the administrative tasks. We can start to apply
starting with the January, 19th. If I don't hear objections I'll
go forward and apply next week.

Please also consider adding your project ideas to the wiki
page 
(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2017/Project_Ideas)
now. No matter if you also consider to mentor or not. I'll set 
up the rest of the wiki pages soon.

Thanks,
Peda
