Thank you for reminding us about this. We have not been able to
dedicate the time in previous years to make this successful, but I
think this could be the year where we enter as an independent
organization.

If the deadline is fast approaching, then we should discuss this in
the weekly meeting today.
Thanks!

Hello,
As you all might know, GSOC 2014 has been announced and currently, the
organization application period is on. According to previous year's
Fedora Project ideas page, some Glusterfs projects have been listed
there for a couple of years, but either no one ever chooses them, or
their proposals are never selected as there is no mention of any
gluster projects under fedora on gsoc's previous year's site.
So my question is that, is Gluster's stand as a prospective org under
Fedora project strong, or is there a chance that Gluster will register
as an independent organization on GSOC. Because, as an interested
student, I think it's my duty to remind you about the approaching
application deadline(which is just a couple of days away [1]).
As for the project, I'm already in constant contact withKrishnan
Parthasarathi for the past few weeks and I'm getting valued feedback
from the community regarding the proposed glusterfsiostat project.
Gluster is already a very rich community with many vibrant and
experienced developers. Plus this year, Google's accepting about 10%
more organizations than usual. So, I think that Gluster has a very
good chance of being selected. An ideas page from 2010 and the most
recent one is already present at [2] and [3]. Some official guidance
can be obtained from [4]. Also, Fedora project wiki can always be
referred for a first hand example. If I can be of any help in this
regard, please do contact me. :-)
