All, It looks like none of ESUG, Squeak, Pharo are in the list at http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2011
If you have a project that can be done in GNU Smalltalk, I suggest that you direct students to it and submit it under the GNU project, where I am co-admin. FAQs: 1) does gst work on Windows? A: in theory yes, in practice it's simpler if you direct your student to Linux. Due to this special occasion I'll make a new release on Monday. 2) will the code need to have a specific license? a: no, as long as it is GPL-compatible. MIT/X11 or BSD is fine. 3) who will help with installing GNU Smalltalk and so on? a: debian has packages that are quite up-to-date. Otherwise, people at [email protected] will be friendly. 4) can we use the cool app that janko made last year? a: yes, but remember that we'll be competing with non-Smalltalk gnu projects so we should submit very early. 5) can i write code that runs in squeak/pharo/vw? a: GNU Smalltalk is ANSI-compliant and has ports for many libraries. You can even develop in squeak/pharo/etc. but you should set aside a few weeks to ensure portability. The final code samples for Google would need to run in gst. 6) who will be mentoring the projects? a: I'll probably ask people from the GNU Smalltalk community to be co-mentors.
