Google has been hinting not-so-subtlely that there's going to be |
2 |
a 2008 Google Summer of Code. I expect that if we want to participate, |
3 |
we're going to have to have our ducks in a row by March, if not |
4 |
earlier. |

So, does Gentoo want to participate this year? |

|
8 |
If so, who's going to run it? Who's going to help? What are |
9 |
we going to do differently this year? |

|
11 |
I'll help if it's something people want to do, but I'd like to see |
12 |
some serious changes this year. I'd like us to only accept proposals |
13 |
that we actually think are quite good. In the past we've been told that we |
14 |
have N slots to fill, so we choose the best N proposals, despite the |
15 |
fact that we often only get a handful of exceptional proposals. I'd |
16 |
also like to see us require weekly public status reports from our |
17 |
students. Quick show of hands: how many people know how what any |
18 |
of our students accomplished last year? I doubt there are many, |
19 |
despite the fact that some good work was done last year. |
