The next thing we need to do is to verify which of those tasks are obsolete or completed, and which tasks we should add. If you can be mentor for the project, please add your name to the list and any tasks you can help with.
I'll be working on the application today and tomorrow, so we need to move quickly.

Gah! If it's me or nobody, I'll do it. :-) We really shouldn't let the opportunity just slip through our fingers. Hey, Jumpy, where are you? :-) - Jordan On Mar 7, 2008, at 8:38 AM, James Berry wrote:I haven't heard back from anybody regarding this plea/opportunity. I don't have time to shepherd GSoC this year. If no body steps up to do so, or to be mentors, I'm going to let this opportunity slide by. Deadline for us to apply to Google, with projects in hand, is next Wednesday, March 12. Anybody?

We need: - Somebody to head up our GSoC 2008 effort (get us signed up with Google, document the proposed projects, etc). - And committed mentors for any projects. Volunteers? As Paul Guyot points out, one thing we found last year was that google seems to allocate project funding to a project based on the total number of student applications. So a project that gets applications from 50 students is likely to be allocated more student slots than a project that gets only 3 student applications. The number of student applications is probably guided in part by several factors: promotion and appeal to the student community; number and appeal of project proposals; etc. James On Feb 29, 2008, at 3:48 PM, James Berry wrote:I'm writing to attempt to gauge interest in whether and how MacPortsshould participate in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) for 2008. See http://code.google.com/soc/2008/ . You might be inclined to address any of the following questions: - Do you feel MacPorts should participate in GSoC 2008? - Are there particular MacPorts projects you'd like to suggest? - Are you willing to be a GSoC mentor? - Would you be interested, as a student, in participating in a GSoC project for MacPorts? GSoC pays students a wage for the summer to work on open source projects, and also a stipend to the project for each student project. If interested, we need to move very quickly. As the Google GSoC FAQ says: "We'll begin accepting applications from open source mentoring organizations on Monday, March 3, 2008; we'll stop accepting organization applications on Wednesday, March 12th."
