Hi all potential GSoC students,

Leslie from Google just wrote to the mentors mailinglist, that they
would like all of you to submit your proposals to the Melange app
*now*:

http://socghop.appspot.com

so that they can judge how many applications are coming and if they
should extend the deadline, or not.

As far as I understand, you are able to change and refine the
application in the app itself:

http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/program/google/gsoc2009/userguide#depth_studentapply

So I suggest the following: take what you have, and submit an
application, then link from it to your wiki.sympy.org page.

I'll do next round of reviews of all your apps after I finish teaching
today, in about 4 hours. So make any changes you want me to check
before it, if possible.

Then you can update your app in the Melange application based on the
review. If possible, please choose your title something like:

SymPy: <your project title>

so that the SymPy applications can be easily distinguished among
others. Apply to both Python Software Foundation (PSF) and the
Portland State University (PSU).

If you want to increase your chances, tailor your PSF application to
the fact, that PSF guys all know Python and most Python libraries, so
you don't need to advocate Python that much, while if submitting to
PSU, some of the  mentors there know Python, but some not and
generally they have project proposals for all kinds of different
things, so you need to explain why it is good to fund your project
idea.

If you find some other organization to apply to, feel free to do so
(and let me know so that I can apply as a mentor there too).

Thanks,
Ondrej
