1 | Hello there! |
2 | |
3 | |
4 | GSOC 2010 isn't too far away anymore, quite close actually. |
5 | I noticed that the list of current GSOC'10 ideas [1] is more or less |
6 | the list of last year... |
7 | |
8 | As GSOC is a big chance for Gentoo to get real needs filled by |
9 | people who actually have time (and no excuses ;-)) .. |
10 | |
11 | it is extra important in my eyes to have stuff in |
12 | that list that really makes a difference |
13 | |
14 | to a larger group of people, i.e. any subset of Gentoo users and/or |
15 | developers. |
16 | |
17 | Therefore I would like to start an extra round of brainstorming. |
18 | |
19 | Please ask yourself: |
20 | |
21 | 1. What current Gentoo-related projects of yours |
22 | have "outsourcable" tasks to fill? |
23 | |
24 | 2. What other needs in Gentoo with need for manpower |
25 | are "outsourcable" but not in the current list of ideas? |
26 | |
27 | A list of things I thought of can be found at the bottom of this mail. |
28 | That list is the reason why you're all in CC, if you're still wondering: |
29 | |
30 | No please have a look at that list and talk back to us. |
31 | |
32 | |

95 | 1. What current Gentoo-related projects of yours |
96 | have "outsourcable" tasks to fill? |
97 | |
98 | 2. What other needs in Gentoo with need for manpower |
99 | are "outsourcable" but not in the current list of ideas? |
