Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Welcome back to this year's edition of the Google Summer of Code (GSoC)! |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
As you know, GSoC has been a huge benefit to Gentoo by gaining us tons |
| 6 |
of new contributors as well as being a significant source of income for |
| 7 |
the Gentoo Foundation and lots of code for Gentoo as a whole. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Our application is due in a couple of weeks (see FAQ [1]). The most |
| 10 |
important part of our application is getting lots of good project ideas. |
| 11 |
I've started a wiki page and put a few ideas on it. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Please take a look at the ideas list [2], and add one new idea with |
| 14 |
enough info that someone could decide whether it sounds interesting and |
| 15 |
get in touch with you to expand it into a full application. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If you don't have an idea, make it your duty to get one college student |
| 18 |
you know to apply to Gentoo in GSoC. |

Last year we couldn't even fill all the student slots we had available, |
| 21 |
in part because we didn't have enough ideas. We need your help! Please |
| 22 |
submit your idea by next Monday, March 7, so we can refine all the ideas |
| 23 |
for submission to Google. |
