Hello, I'm happy to announce the final Google Summer of Code slot allocation for Openmoko. 10 projects will be funded this year which is quite an improvement over the 3 we had in 2007. Lets make it rock. :-)
So here are the projects that we will take on during this years Summer of Code: OpenMoko Mail Student: Vladimir Mihaylov Mentor: Thomas Wood Flexible answering machine Student: Frederik Sdun Mentor: Thomas Wood IM/VoIP using telepathy Student: Deniz Koçak Mentor: Robert McQueen Accelerometer Gestures Student: Paul-Valentin Borza Mentor: Daniel Willmann Implementation of a OpenMoko remote controller for GNU/Linux Student: Valério Domingos Valério Mentor: Daniel Willmann speech recognition facility in open moko Student: Saurabh Gupta Mentor: Luis G. Lira A "targeted" SELinux Policy For OpenMoko Student: Willis Vandevanter Mentor: Stefan Schmidt SMS middleware Student: Patryk Szymczak Mentor: Michael Lauer odeviced: Open Device Daemon for FreeRunner/Neo1973 complying with freesmartphone.org specs Student: Sudharshan S Mentor: Michael Lauer PIM storage for the mobile world Student: Sören Apel Mentor: m. dietrich Please make the students feel welcome in our community and help them with any questions they have. If you applied this year but didn't get accepted don't despair. Openmoko welcomes your contribution, whether made through GSoC or not and through the "Community member of the month" contest you can even win a t-shirt. It's all about the t-shirts. :-) Finally, if there will be a Google Summer of Code next year we will try to get accepted as mentoring organization again. All students are free to choose the way they want to handle the development, if you have no strong preference we would recommend creating a project at projects.openmoko.org. However, we do require that every project has a website of some sorts with current status information (this can be the projects.om.org Site, it could be a special category in your blog, it might even be a plaintext file edited in $EDITOR and synced to a webserver). Important is that there's some place where interested people can go to and get an overview over your project. General development discussion should take place on a public mailing list, preferably [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can sign up for mailing lists at http://lists.openmoko.org/ Also the IRC room #openmoko-gsoc on Freenode is available for mentors and students to discuss their project. This room is of course open to the general public. A good place to start looking for documentation is the Openmoko wiki at http://wiki.openmoko.org/ An overview page with links to the individual projects pages will be available at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2008#Current_projects once everything is set up. Regards, Daniel Willmann
