'k, since there appears to be interest, I've tried to read a bit more up
on it, specifically the FAQs ... seems simple enough, but someone else may
have found a link that I haven't ...
Basically, developer (ie. Ramy Hassan) would go to:
http://code.google.com/soc_application.html
Fill out this form and put 'Other' for Sponsor, and PostgreSQL Global
Development Group in the blank space provided ... I can't find any
specific "sponsor application form" on Google, but, again, may be missing
something ...
I've sent a note off to Google asking for more information on becoming a
mentor, will post once I hear back more ...
While waiting, for any students that are interested, can I suggest going
to the above URL, look at what is requested in preparation ...

One concern that was raised off of this list was the steep learning curve

Do we have any 'students' that are already up to speed, enough so that
they'd be able to accomplish something significant over a 2-3 month period?
I have a student who is already working on developing custom access method
to very large astronomical catalogues. Also, Ramy Hassan
([EMAIL PROTECTED])
from Purdue University is working on SP-GiST and I think his work would be
well suited for Google program.

Are there any restrictions on 'mentor groups'? For instance, could we
create a 'mentors' mailing list, closed subscriptions, that contained
those willing to actively mentor, so that those being mentor'd have
multiple ppl's knowledge's to feed upon?

My participation would be limited to the actual number of newcomers. I
feel comfortable helping 2 or 3 people; any more than that would impact
my clients and consulting time. Although, it would never hurt to have
additional mentors :).

We have a whole TODO list of potential items for people to work on, and
we have several member of this list that work for universities in some
capacity, so istm we ought to give it a shot. I would think this is
something that the foundation would be good to be involved in as well,
as it would certainly help it all appear official. We just need to tie
up the loose ends on who would be available to do the mentoring, which
might need to be different people depending on the work involved, unless
you think you could handle all comers Jonah? Robert Treat

Marc,
If you wanted to submit PostgreSQL to Google for this, I'd be willing
to
work with any potentials. Should someone choose to work on PostgreSQL
projects, the money can go to the group.
If anyone sees a problem with submitting under the PostgreSQL Global
Development Group, I can do it under my company.
Thoughts?

In case nobody has seen this:
http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html
Might be something to help fun, say, the GiST stuff? Just need to
find a student that could be mentor'd/directed/brought up to speed?
