No worries:
Let's get to specifics and review on email or IRC ... :-) I would be
happy to stay on the line after the GeoTools IRC
meeting and get you started.
Cheers,
Jody
Perhaps I am out of the loop on this one. I did exchange e-mails with
Frank this morning, and he said that I could move forward. I will
contact him again to clarify, perhaps I misunderstood his instructions.
What you said about matching a mentor based on student location makes
some sense.
I apologize to all on the list if I am nagging about something that has
already been taken care of.

IdeasList)
I think you are a bit late to be asking this one; we rounded up ideas
last week ... and the request was for possible mentor.
Matching up student with mentor is as much a game of timezone, common
spoken language as it is knowledge. For projects such as GeoTools, uDig,
GeoServer the contact information is the same (seek yee the developers
list) ...
Let's try this again, on #osgeo

I am going to try and help Frank get our ideas list for Google's 2007
Summer of Code wrapped up by the end of the week. I know that the
participating projects have already done a lot of this work here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code
However, I was hoping I could request some assistance from the
participating projects so that I can get a finalized list put
together. I'd like to ask if each of the participating projects could
e-mail me a text file with the following information for each student
project idea:
[1] The name of the Student Project Idea.
[2] The mentor that will be assigned to the project if it is accepted
by Google. I think we want something definite here. Not "possible
mentor" or "suggested mentor". I think the projects need to get this
nailed down.
[3] A brief, one or two paragraph, description of the Student Project
Idea. It is important to remember that the students reviewing these
idea lists may not be GIS or programming experts, or experts on your
particular software, so be careful about your use of technical terms
and jargon. Please also do not send a link to another web page that
contains the description of the student project idea. I'd like to have
this information self-contained in the text file. You can include
links to technical specifications or other information that applies to
the Student Project Idea and that the student may find helpful in
considering the project.
[4] The contact information for a person the student can talk to for
more information about a Student Project Idea.
One of the reasons we'd like to do this is to encourage participating
projects to really look at their own Student Project Ideas list so
they can tie up any loose ends. We really appreciate each of the
participating projects taking the time to do this.
I will review each submitted lists to check for things like spelling
and grammar errors, broken hyperlinks, and for things that just don't
make sense. I'll try to approach this review from the perspective of a
student, and will direct the questions about the Student Project Idea
description to the appropriate participating project. We prefer to
have a short list of well-thought out Student Project Ideas with few
errors, rather than a long list of confusing or unclear Student
Project Ideas with lots of mistakes and errors.
Thanks,
