Howdy, We have accepted 3 GSoC student proposals!
Javascript backend for Rakudo Perl 6 [0] by Paweł Murias (Poland) Updating parrot-libgit2 to latest libgit2 release [1] by Saurabh Kumar (India) Improve App::Parrot::Create [2] by Denis Boyun (Ukraine) The community bonding period starts now. Please welcome our students and give them constructive criticism about their proposals. They are extremely intelligent students, but they do not have the years of real world experience that many potential mentors posses. If you are interested in helping mentor any of these projects (which could be anything from answering a question on IRC occasionally to being a dedicated mentor meeting with the student on a daily or weekly basis), please become a mentor via Melange [3]. The above projects could use help from people that know about Perl 5, Perl 6, Parrot, libgit2, C, the unix command-line, nasal demons and the various portability Elder Gods that must be appeased to Make Things Work. Students can always use more encouragement, so please help me welcome them to our awesome community and make sure they are constantly learning and making progress. If you ever want to know "what happens next", I highly recommend joining the #gsoc IRC channel on Freenode, where you can type !next and various other commands that will be answered by a properly trained bot. More details soon! Duke PS: We have at least two more proposals that I feel are worth funding directly as grants from Parrot Foundation and/or The Perl Foundation. I encourage any students who were not accepted to submit their proposals directly to the previously mentioned organizations so it can be decided if they should be funded directly.
