<PRE>Hi,
Google announced during FOSDEM that the summer of code program 2012 have
been launched officially :
<A HREF="http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2012/02/google-summer-of-code-2012-is-on.html">http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2012/02/google-summer-of-code-2012-is-on.html</A>
( for people who never have heard of, just follow the links and then ask
questions here )
I have opened a page on our wiki so we can try to apply to the program
this year :
<A HREF="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/SummerOfCode2012">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/SummerOfCode2012</A>
There is the application proposal, as long as answers for the questions
( found in the FAQ )
I also put 2 draft proposals, that I found after taking a shower, but do
not hesitate to place more. Please also follow the format I used, since
it should explain to student what they need, what they learn, and who to
contact. Feel free to add almost complete proposal, but do not try to
add too much. To cope with possible problem, please find a backup mentor
The deadline is rather tight, so do not lose much time. I propose to
review the various proposals in 2 weeks, and keep those that follow
simple criterias :
- have a committed member of the community as mentor
- take only a limited number of proposal per mentor ( to avoid him being
overloded ), I guess 2 or 3 would be enough
- have a backup ( no backup, no proposal, no exception )
- have realistic and interesting project for a student in a 2 months
time frame.
Keep in mind that the deadline will be around the release of Mageia 2,
so this may affect availability of mentors.
What to do :
- complete the page started on the wiki. There is still various TODO to
put what is still needed to be fixed.
- add links to various sources of information, be it others
organisations applying, or summary of do and don't, etc.
- review
<A HREF="http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2012/org_admin_agreement">http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2012/org_admin_agreement</A>
and see if we can accept that
- find a backup for the administration of the program. Also, if someone
is volunteer to be the main admin, I would be relived to not be that
one ( even if, as the one proposing that we participate, I am the de
facto volunteer for that position )
- clean the proposal page from drafts before applying
- apply
I guess we could use a blog post for that, but we have first to speak of
fosdem, of the sysadmin trip to datacenter, etc.
