Hello everyone,
As some of you have already noticed, we've been accepted into GSOC 2012
and we're now starting to discuss ideas with students. The actual
application period doesn't open until the 26th March, but we'd encourage
you to start discussing applications on this mailing list before then so
we can help you get them refined.
Please try and put [GSOC] before any posts you make so we know what
you're after, and so we can make sure to give you timely responses.
Some key points to remember are:
- We're looking for detailed proposals - we have an application
template on the GSOC page at
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2012/django that
details what you should be including.
- While we'll happily look over a few drafts of your proposal (in
fact, it's likely that you will have at least a couple), we won't put up
with 10 or 20 revisions each with tiny changes. GSOC requires the
ability to get things done by yourself, and it's best to start
demonstrating that now. We'll also expect that you have previous
experience working with Open Source projects or other related
- The absolute deadline for proposals is 7pm UTC on April 6th, but by
that point we'd expect that you've already discussed things with us. If
you just submit an application without prior discussion with the
django-developers list, it's not likely to get accepted.
Our current ideas page is at
https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/SummerOfCode2012, but you're not
limited to just the ideas on that page, so feel free to propose other ideas.
Looking forward to seeing your applications!
Andrew
