Re: [Server-devel] GSoC 2009?
Sounds like a fine idea to me, Martin. Assuming we are accepted again as a mentoring org, we should be eligible for more projects than last year. But do bear in mind that we may not get anyone interested in those projects; and that a successful GSoC internship is primarily about a good experience developing a meaningful product, and the interns are free to define how to tackle the problem they undertake.

For good or bad, I'm a veteran mentor of 2 GSoCs, I hope that some of the subprojects I'm thinking of are compelling :-) Most of this year I've been doing the unsexy, burdensome plumbing, deferring the fun stuff. If GSoC'ers grab the fun stuff, more power to them. cheers, martin -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
