Google Summer of Code 2008
Dear all, Our list of ideas is now both on our wiki and the GNU web site: http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/GoogleSoC2008 http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas.html Please feel free to provide further ideas / more details on existing ideas on the wiki page. I'd also like to know of anyone interested in mentoring. I've already listed those who have already shown some interest; this is currently Chris Burdess for Tomcat and Mario Torre for the sound API. I've provisionally put myself down in many of the slots so they have a mentor, but would prefer to be replaced by someone more capable! Notably there is no-one down yet for the AWT/Swing project on Qt, so... volunteers please! Thanks, -- Andrew :-) Document Freedom Day - March 26th http://documentfreedom.org Support Free Java!

Google Summer of Code 2008
Hi everyone, The deadline for mentor organisation proposals for Google's Summer of Code 2008 is next Wednesday the 12th of March. Our usual practice is to go under the umbrella of the GNU project and GCC. Last year, we had two projects from each: Mario's GStreamer work under GNU, and Dalibor's javac/GCJ work under GCC. If we want to be involved this year, we need to start thinking of possible ideas for students to get their teeth into. Please post any promising project size TODOs you may have and also whether you would be willing to mentor such a project. I also plan to be on IRC around 8pm UTC tomorrow so we can discuss this in real-time. Happy hacking, -- Andrew :-) Document Freedom Day - March 26th http://documentfreedom.org Support Free Java!
