Just in case it is missed I should add that there appears to be a 
mistake in the paragraph beginning "Established in 2005," where "around 
the word" should read "around the world".

Ack. Thanks, Uli.

Any other comments? Do you still want to go live at 12Noon-ish ET?

If I get the final signoff soon, I might be able to get it out at 11.30am.

Cheers,

number of GSoC slots for the ASF

[Ulrich Stärk]

Unknown as of yet. It depends on the number and quality of the proposals and 
the number of mentors
willing to mentor projects.

Last years' numbers were in the 40ies. But we also had to return slots because 
we didn't have enough
suitable mentors.

The Apache Software Foundation Community Development Project Welcomes Student 
Proposals for Google
Summer of Code 2013

Hundreds of students mentored in “The Apache Way” of Open Source community 
leadership

Forest Hill, MD –9 April 2013– The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)'s Community 
Development (ComDev)
project today announced its acceptance into the Google Summer of Code (GsoC) as 
a mentoring
organization for the eighth consecutive year.

The ComDev team helps newcomers learn about the ASF's projects, governance, and 
activities, and
guides them in becoming part of the meritocratic, all-volunteer Apache 
community.

Established in 2005, the Google Summer of Code offers student developers from 
around the word
stipends to write code for various Open Source software projects over a three 
month period.

The ASF has actively participated in GSoC since the program's inception, 
mentoring 30-45 students
each year, and providing exposure to real-world software and community 
development “The Apache Way”.

Countless GSoC students mentored by the Apache community continue to be 
long-term code committers on
a variety of Apache projects. Some active program participants have even been 
elected as members of
the ASF.
   
This year, dozens of Apache projects have committed to mentoring GSoC students. They include

Accumulo, Airavata, Axiom, Bloodhound, CloudStack, CouchDB, Crunch, Giraph, 
Gora, Hama, Hive, Isis,
Jena, Lenya, Lucene, Mahout, ManifoldCF, Mesos, Nutch, ODE, OpenMeetings, 
OpenOffice, Pig, Rat, SIS,
Sling, Solr, Stanbol, Tika, VXQuery, Wookie, XalanJ, and XercesJ.

Make clear that this list isn't exclusive. Maybe "They include but are not limited 
to..."?


The ComDev team invite GSoC students to propose application ideas directly with 
all Apache
project(s) of interest no later than Sunday, 21 April 2013. The ASF's more than 
100 Top-Level
Projects and nearly three dozen initiatives in the Apache Incubator are listed 
at
  http://www.apache.org/ and http://incubator.apache.org/ respectively.

"The ComDev team recommends GSoC students to discuss application ideas directly 
with all Apache
project(s) of interest before the official start of the application phase on Monday, 
22 April 2013."

Sorry to derail the topic of this thread, but how many slots will Apache
have, and how many slots will each project get?

Re: ASF accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2013

[Sally Khudairi]

Hi everyone --I've drafted up an announcement that I can send out by 12 Noon ET 
today, if not sooner.

Please review the draft below and forward any corrections/additions no later 
than 11.15AM ET.

Thanks for this,
Sally

...also, we need to update http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html :^)

The Apache Software Foundation Community Development Project Welcomes Student 
Proposals for Google Summer of Code 2013

Hundreds of students mentored in “The Apache Way” of Open Source community 
leadership

Forest Hill, MD –9 April 2013– The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)'s Community 
Development (ComDev) project today announced its acceptance into the Google 
Summer of Code (GsoC) as a mentoring organization for the eighth consecutive 
year.

The ComDev team helps newcomers learn about the ASF's projects, governance, and 
activities, and guides them in becoming part of the meritocratic, all-volunteer 
Apache community.

Established in 2005, the Google Summer of Code offers student developers from 
around the word stipends to write code for various Open Source software 
projects over a three month period. 

The ASF has actively participated in GSoC since the program's inception, 
mentoring 30-45 students each year, and providing exposure to real-world 
software and community development “The Apache Way”.

Countless GSoC students mentored by the Apache community continue to be 
long-term code committers on a variety of Apache projects. Some active program 
participants have even been elected as members of the ASF.
  
This year, dozens of Apache projects have committed to mentoring GSoC students. 
They include Accumulo, Airavata, Axiom, Bloodhound, CloudStack, CouchDB, 
Crunch, Giraph, Gora, Hama, Hive, Isis, Jena, Lenya, Lucene, Mahout, 
ManifoldCF, Mesos, Nutch, ODE, OpenMeetings, OpenOffice, Pig, Rat, SIS, Sling, 
Solr, Stanbol, Tika, VXQuery, Wookie, XalanJ, and XercesJ. 

The ComDev team invite GSoC students to propose application ideas directly with 
all Apache project(s) of interest no later than Sunday, 21 April 2013. The 
ASF's more than 100 Top-Level Projects and nearly three dozen initiatives in 
the Apache Incubator are listed at  http://www.apache.org/ and 
http://incubator.apache.org/ respectively.

For more information on Apache Community Development and to get involved with 
Apache projects for GSoC, visit http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html

Details on the Google Summer of Code is available at

Re: ASF accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2013

[Sally Khudairi]

Thanks, Lars.

Yes, I will write the blog posts, et. al. It won't hurt us to issue it over the 
newswire service. Once Uli clarified this, the type of announcement (format) 
became clearer to me.

I still have to get the thing written, so I'll be getting cracking soon. The 
Struts EOL announcement goes out in 20 minutes.

Cheers,
Sally

Re: ASF accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2013

[Ulrich Stärk]

Here's your list:

Accumulo, Airavata, Axiom, Bloodhound, CloudStack, Lenya, OpenOffice, 
ManifoldCF, CouchDB, Crunch,
Giraph, Gora, Hama, Hive, Isis, Jena, Lucene, Mahout, Mesos, Nutch, Ode, 
Openmeetings, Pig, Rat,
SIS, Sling, Solr, Stanbol, Tika, VXQuery, Wookie, XalanJ, XercesJ

It isn't exclusive, these are simply the projects that have submitted project 
ideas. Every student
is free to approach any project and propose an idea (which is also highly 
encouraged).

Cheers,

Uli

[Sally Khudairi]

Thanks for clarifying, Uli.

I'm not going to drop this. Just need some time to juggle the balls already 
in-hand.

I'll be in touch in a couple of hours.

Chat soon,
Sally

Sorry. I didn't know that there was a difference between press release and 
announcement.

Of course. If you think that a press release won't reach our intended audience, 
then skip it. The
urgency is due to the fact that the application phase will start in two weeks 
and I'd like to spread
the word as early as possible.

Cheers,

Re: ASF accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2013

[Sally Khudairi]

Uli --help me understand the urgency. A press release doesn't necessarily reach 
(y)our intended audience --participants.

I will write an announcement, put it out over the newswire, post it on the ASF 
Foundation Blog, Tweet about it, send it to announce@ and our press/analyst 
list, and post it on the apache.org homepage.

Of course, I will get the draft over to you (ComDev) for review prior to 
issuing. I'd love a quote from the ComDev chair. Will Luciano be able to do 
this? If not, we can go without it...not required, but nice to have.

Thanks,
Sally

Re: ASF accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2013

[Ulrich Stärk]

Any project can be involved. The ones listed at [4] have explicitly submitted 
ideas for students but
that doesn't mean students can't approach projects not mentioned there. I'll 
compile a list from [4]
for you.

One more thing: do we have a list of Apache projects that will be involved here?

Thanks,

Re: ASF accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2013

[Sally Khudairi]

Thanks, Uli.

I'll get on it. I have two press releases going out this morning, which creates 
a news logjam from a media standpoint.

Are you OK with this going out tomorrow? If not, I'll get cracking on this 
after our 9AM ET release goes out.

Cheers,
Sally

ASF accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2013

[Ulrich Stärk]

Recycling last years email on the topic. All dates and links updated. It would 
be cool if we could
get this out asap. Is there anything else you need?

Hey Sally & Co.,

this year we won't forget to provide you with some infos on our GSoC 
endeavours. Yesterday, we have
been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2013 
[1],[2]. This means that
over the summer, our committers will mentor students that are sponsored by 
Google and will be
working on our projects. The program helps us not only to get some code written 
but also to
introduce students into open source development and hopefully recruit some new 
long-term committers.
More information on the program is available at [3]. Students are now 
encouraged to discuss ideas
with the respective projects and begin drafting proposals. An extensive list of 
already existing
project ideas is available at [4]. The actual application phase is from April 
24 until May 3, coding
will take place from June 17 to September 23. See [5] for the detailed timeline.

Can you please run any press release past us (dev@community.apache.org) before 
publishing?

Thanks,

Uli

IIUC it needs the organisation to create a profile page before it will show
up in the list. I assume an Org admin will have received something for
apache. (info from the gsoc mentors list).
