The DSpace Foundation has registered with Google to participate in this years Google summer of code internship. The DSpace community participated last year with much success in generating and completing four interesting projects which potentially would be useful to the community at large. The purpose of participation is to potentially build some exciting add-ons for the platform but also promote the open source software and building a community of "future" developers worldwide interested in OSS and advancing open access to to scholarly digital works.
We would like to encourage users and developers in the community to post their ideas for projects on the wiki: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php?title=Summer_of_Code_Ideas_2008 To see ideas from 2007 for reference: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php?title=Summer_of_Code_Ideas We need to get all ideas posted by MARCH 24th, as this is when the ideas need to be submitted to google as possible projects for interns to review. We have identified mentors in the community for 5 or 6 projects, however if you would like to be a mentor on the project you proposed, and are an active developer in the community please identify your interest in mentoring on the wiki page. Ideally the projects proposed are well defined, can be developed as an add-on, and can work with the current platform 1.5. thanks, Michele Kimpton ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
