Google Summer of Code for 2012 has been announced - it'd be nice for DragonFly to participate for the 5th (!) time. I'll administrate again, unless someone else is hungry for it.
http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2012/02/google-summer-of-code-2012-is-on.html This leads to the usual questions: 1: Who wants to mentor? You have to be willing to spend April 23rd through August 24th helping a student, and some time before that looking at and ranking project proposals. There's not much formal organization past "get the student moving". 2: Who wants to be a student? Generally you qualify by being a college student. You have to put in a decent amount of work; this is your summer job. 3: Who has project ideas? This can be anyone. We have an existing projects page, but more ideas that are suitable in scope for students are always welcome. http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/developer/ProjectsPage/ (The existing general projects page) We can apply as an organization starting the 27th. I need at least a couple people willing to mentor so that I know it's worth putting in the application.
