Hi all, in less than a week the time slot for organizations to apply for this year's Google Summer of Code opens. In my opinion our participation last year (and the years before) had been a success. We got a bunch of coding done, we also got new students that stick with our great project and community and our organization got some money, too. I also did a survey the year before last, asking all mentors what they think about the output of GSoC, about their students and especially if they think we should reapply: Everyone did think so. I also did a survey last year; it's also been unanimous to apply again but with not so much mentors participating in my survey.
Anyways, I'm suggesting to apply again this year and I'm again willing to do the administrative tasks. We can start to apply starting with the January, 19th. If I don't hear objections I'll go forward and apply next week. Please also consider adding your project ideas to the wiki page (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2017/Project_Ideas) now. No matter if you also consider to mentor or not. I'll set up the rest of the wiki pages soon. Thanks, Peda _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
