Hello all! like past years, OSGeo is applying to become a mentoring organisation during Google Summer of Code 2013 [0,1].
As part of the application process, I welcome developers from every OSGeo project to update the relevant Ideas pages (see past years' Ideas pages for guidance [2]). I welcome every project to choose a representative, in order to make communication more effective. I am extending the call to OSGeo-Edu mailing list, as many open geospatial labs would like to spread the news among their students, and professors can consider to apply as mentors. The deadline for OSGeo application is end of March [3]. Thanks in advance for your contribution! == For developers and potential Mentors == Is there a feature that your pet project would benefit from, and can be developed by a student in roughly three months under your supervision? It's time to describe it in the Ideas page of your project, write about it in the usual communication channels (mailing lists, forums) and unusual (university pinboards!) and look for the student who will complete it. == For potential GSoC Students == First, read carefully the eligibility criteria from Google [4], then contact the developers of your favorite(s) project(s). Feel free to either pick up a proposed Idea, or to propose your own. We look forward for a vast geographical and linguistic (both spoken and compiled languages) diversity in contributions! More details on OSGeo application will be forwarded to SoC list soon.
