Hi! There will be a Google Summer of Code 2013, see below. Assuming GNU is again going to apply and accepted as a mentoring organization -- if we're interested, we can also already begin thinking about projects to propose. <http://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/community/gsoc/project_ideas/> has the current list; to be updated. Speak up (or directly edit the pages) if you have any suggestions!

Yay! | | If you would like to help spread the word about GSoC, we have presentations | [2], logos [3], and flyers [4] for you to use. Please host meetups, tell | your friends and colleagues about the program, go to conferences, talk to | people about the program, and just generally do all the awesome | word-of-mouth stuff you do every year to promote the program. | | The GSoC calendar, FAQ, and events timeline have all been updated with this | year's important dates, so please refer to those for the milestones for | this year's program. NB: the normal timeline for the program has been | modified for this year. You'll probably want to examine the dates closely | to make sure you know when important things are happening. | | Please consider translating the presentations and/or flyers into your | native language and submitting them directly to me to post on the wiki. | Localization for our material is integral to reaching the widest possible | audience around the world. If you decide to translate a flyer, please fill | out our form to request a thank you gift for your effort. [5] | | If you decide to host a meetup, please email me to let me know the date, | time, and location so I can put it on the GSoC calendar. Also, remember to | take pictures at your meetup and write up a blog post for our blog using | our provided template for formatting [6]. If you need promotional items for | your attendees, please fill out our form [7] to request some; we're happy | to send some along. We can provide up to about 25 pens, notebooks, or | stickers and/or a few t-shirts. Please keep in mind, though, that shipping | restrictions and timeline vary country-to-country; request items early to | make sure they get there on time! If you have questions about hosting | meetups, please see the section in our FAQ [8]. | | Please also consider applying to participate as an organization again this | year or maybe joining as a mentor for your favorite organization if they | are selected this year. | | We rely on you for your help for the success of this program, so thank you | in advance for all the work you do! | | [1] - | http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2013/02/flip-bits-not-burgers-google-summer-of.html | [2] - | http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/ProgramPresentations | [3] - http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/GsocLogos | [4] - http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/GsocFlyers | [5] - http://goo.gl/gEHDO | [6] - http://goo.gl/wbZrt | [7] - http://goo.gl/0BsR8 | [8] - http://goo.gl/2NGfp | | Cheers, | Carol Grüße, Thomas
