We are nearly at the time when Google starts accepting applications from free software projects wanting to participate in GSoC
The deal from Google is reasonably generous, they fully pay the student and they sometimes provide some help with other costs, e.g. they very generously helped Debian bring some of the students to DebConf in 2013. The big commitment from our side is that we need to (a) do the recruiting/selection and (b) do some mentoring. This obviously works out best for people who may already be recruiting anyway and they can use the program as a trial employment period or if there are things you really need done in the open source project and you have no other resources available and it is work that is suitable for a student. That said, in my experience with reviewing applications for both GSoC and Outreach Program for Women (a Gnome initiative) there are always a scattering of really good candidates who can work well and with minimal supervision. Having mentored two students last year I'd be happy to discuss this in more detail with anybody who may be interested. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WatchGuard Dimension instantly turns raw network data into actionable security intelligence.
