Re: It's time for Google Summer of Code 2017!

Note that when Haskell.org didn't make it into gsoc last year, they
successfully organized a similar program through private donations. While
one hopes that Clojure will be accepted into gsoc, consider having a
similar course of action as Plan B.

It's time for Google Summer of Code 2017!

[Daniel Solano Gómez]

Hello, all,

We now have less than a week to prepare our application for Google Summer 
of Code 2017 , a program where Google 
pays students from around the world to work on open source projects. 
 Clojure has successfully participated 2012–2015, and we would love to 
return for a fifth time.  As a community, we have benefitted significantly 
over the years with amazing work on projects like Clojure in Clojure, 
ClojureScript, Clojure on Android, Incanter, and more.  And it's not just 
the projects that have benefitted, many of Clojure/GSoC alumns continue to 
contribute to the community and are often speakers at conferences.

In order to participate again this year, we need your help; we need project 
ideas .  A great project ideas 
page is a key part in having a successful application, and having many 
members from within the community participate as potential mentors would 
really boost our application.  At this point, you are not committing to 
anything, we just need some great ideas.

This year, we are trying something new: We are hosting our project ideas on 
GitHub 
 
and you can submit your idea just using a few lines of Markdown in a pull 
request.  If you'd rather not do that, you can post to the mailing list 
with [GSoC Idea] in the subject and we'll add it for you.  Also, you can 
submit ideas in the #gsoc channel in the Clojurians slack.


You can also help review our application 
 and profile 
 pages, and we would appreciate any 
input 

Finally, a big thanks to all of the administrators and volunteers who have 
helped Clojure's GSoC in years past.

Thank you very much for your time and idea.

Sincerely,

Daniel
