All, I'm pleased to announce that Xiph.org has been selected as a mentoring organization for the 2006 Google Summer of Code program. So if you need a summer job, and there's something about free multimedia that's been bugging you, here's your chance!
We've put up some project ideas for things we'd like to see in the wiki http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code But of course you're welcome to submit proposals for original or modified projects as well. Feel free to discuss ideas here on the public lists, or privately with the listed mentors before submitting officially. Google is now taking applications. You can apply by signing in here: http://code.google.com/soc/ With your google account info. If you don't already have one you can register a new account (including using an external, non-gmail address) here: https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount You'll need cookies and such. You submit a proposal, our mentors will rank them, and then google will decide what to fund. See the drupal project's http://drupal.org/node/59037 and http://drupal.org/node/59963 for some excellent advice on preparing your application. More information and a complete list of mentoring organizations is available at http://code.google.com/soc/ We're looking forward to having some funded projects this summer, so good luck! -r _______________________________________________ Flac-dev mailing list Flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
