Hello, all, We're already a week into the application period for organisations' participation in Google Summer of Code 2015 <https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2015>. This is a fantastic program that helps grow open source communities and gives students from around the world the opportunity to get paid to work on open source over the course of the summer. Clojure has participated three years in a row now, and many notable projects have benefited as a result, include Clojure in Clojure, ClojureScript, Type Clojure(Script), Clojure/Android, Incanter, and more.
I would love to see Clojure participate again this year. In order to do so, we need to prepare our application which is due in a week. For our application to be a success, we need widespread involvement from the community to prepare a strong project ideas page <http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Project+Ideas>. You can also review the ideas from the past <http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Google+Summer+of+Code+2012> several <http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Project+Ideas+2013> years <http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Project+Ideas+2014> to help you come up with new ideas. Please add your project ideas to the page at < http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Project+Ideas>. At this point, you are not committing to anything—we just need your ideas. If you don't have edit rights to the wiki and don't want to sign up for an account, just post to the mailing list using [GSoC Idea] in the subject line, and one of the administrators will add it for you. If you would like to review the answers to the organizationapplication <http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Mentoring+organization+application>, we would appreciate the input. The application deadline the 20th of February at 19:00 UTC. Alex Miller and Ambrose Bonnaire-Sergeant helped enormously last year, and I am elated that they will be returning as administrators. If you enjoy social media and would like to manage the Clojure/GSoC blog, twitter account, and more, please let me know. A big thanks to everyone who has participated in previous years as administrators, mentors, and students. I hope that this will be another successful Google Summer of Code for Clojure.
