Hi David, Glad you're interested in working on LilyPond for GSoC!
I looked into Google's rules[1] and even though LilyPond is not one of the accepted mentoring organizations (the deadline has passed for that) the GNU project is.[2] Since LilyPond is part of the GNU project, a LilyPond GSoC project could be sponsored by GNU as the organization (and that might be the best arrangement in any case). Also, it seems that students can propose any project, even projects that are not listed on an organization's official "ideas list."[3] It just needs to be a project that both the student and the organization are interested in pursuing. So... the questions are: can we get you set up with a mentor and a project, and is GNU open to considering a LilyPond project. As I understand it, GNU will be awarded some unspecified number of students that they get to take on, and then they get to choose from the successful student applications (out of the students who applied to work with GNU). -Paul [1] http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2015/help_page [2] https://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/guidelines.html [3] https://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2015.html -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Google-Summer-of-Code-2015-tp172600p172605.html Sent from the Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
