Hi all,
Student applications have now closed, and GSoC is entering the selection
phase. I notice that there are a few proposals for Harmony projects that
do not have an associated mentor. Could all those who wish to be mentors
please go to the project list and take a look at the proposals for
Harmony projects [1]. If there is a strong proposal you would like to
mentor, then please click the "I am willing to mentor this student"
button and score the proposal +4. This indicates to the GSoC organisers
that there is willing mentor for that project. For example, please see
the proposal Manju has created and I have volunteered to mentor [2].
As the note below indicates, GSoC will enter Selection Phase tomorrow,
where mentors can give a more detailed ranking to their projects using
the full selection criteria [3]. There are 6 points under which mentors
need to rank their projects, described under the "Selection Phase" heading.
Time is a little tight for the selection process, so please put yourself
down as a mentor (if you find a good proposal) and read/begin the
selection phase ranking as soon as possible. Please also note that the
ranking points ask for an "interview" of the candidate (face to face, on
the phone, via email etc.) to evaluate their ability to complete the
project, so it is very important to get this process started as soon as
possible.
Regards,
Oliver

Student applications are now closed, thanks for all the mentors that
helped the students throughout building the project proposal with
constructive feedback and advices.
We are now entering our internal Pre-Selection phase (see [1] for
details), mentors please select the student proposal you are going to
mentor by clicking the button "I'm willing to mentor this student" and
give the proposal a "+4" score. At the end of this phase, I expect to
see a bunch of proposals with assigned mentors and a score of 4...
Note that currently I'm seeing student proposals with a score of 8, 6,
5, 4, 2, and 1 and some even has no mentor selected yet, I guess we
will need to review these proposals and make them all even with a 4
score and a selected mentor by end of phase 1. Note that per [1], only
mentors should be voting now.
As for the length of this Pre-Selection phase, how about we give it
till EOD Monday (6th) for mentors to select their proposal, them about
1 more day for the Selection Phase where mentors would give more
detailed ranking to the proposals ?
Please, let me know if you have questions/comments.

Hello everyone,
The student application period for Google Summer of Code 2009 closed
today at 19:00 UTC, so about 2.5 hours ago. Many thanks to everyone
who submitted an application. Student applicants should be watching
for comments on their proposals from potential mentors as well as
communicating with them via email, IRC, etc.
We will announce the list of accepted student proposals on the Google
Summer of Code 2009 site, http://socghop.appspot.com, on 20 April
2009.
For those who are wondering, we will not be extending the application
deadline this year nor will we accept any applications post-deadline.
Best,
LH
