Hey guys,

I hope you're really digging into your projects at this point! Now that 
you've had a couple of weeks to get started, it's time to begin keeping 
the community informed about how things are going. For this year's GSoC, 
that will take the form of a weekly email updating everyone on your 
progress.

Your updates should go to the mailing list that is most relevant to your 
project, and the gentoo-dev list if there isn't one more specific. We 
want you to really be part of the broader Gentoo community, which is why 
you'll be posting your updates to the standard lists instead of some 
GSoC-specific place like this list.

I'd like to see your first updates by the end of this week, with an 
additional update each week until the end of the summer. Your mentors 
will follow up with each of you about this, and they can help with any 
more questions you have (and direct any unclear ones to me).

This doesn't need to be a long essay; the point is to show people what 
you're up to, get them excited in your project, and get them excited 
about you. You'll probably want to post a link back to your project's 
description in each update so people who haven't been following along 
can catch up.

I look forward to reading the first set of updates!
