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).

Re: Mahout in GSOC 2013
I'm actually not planning to mentor the project myself. I mean of course, I'll help the mentors or students if they need, but this summer is pretty hectic for me (graduating, moving to a new city...) so I can't take on the commitment. And, I'll become a committer soon enough I think. I'm working on a larger feature that's actually also my senior project.

Re: GSoC 2013
Hi Manish, Good that you are starting early, some projects have started to tag gsoc 2013 but not all. At this time, I suggest you take a look at GSOC 2012 ideas to get an idea - http://s.apache.org/gsoc2012ideas . Also if you are interested in a particular project at ASF (http://apache.org/ for the list) but haven't seen an gsoc idea, just ask in the dev mailing list.

Re: GSoC 2013: non-code projects on website, branding?
Hi Shane, a big + 1 for what you want to accomplish, but I am afraid it might not qualify as a GSOC project. There was a discussion on gsoc mentor lists recently if CSS qualifies as a gsoc project. There were mixed opinions without concluding thoughts but it was clear documentation does not quality. GSOC seem to emphasize on the coding aspects [1]. Few options come to my mind though: * HCI students may want to pick it as a good use case and deliver. It will be tough to motivate but if they can pick it up as a capstone project or get attracted to earn commitership in ASF they might. * Free lance content strategists might be very interested to do this kind of a job in return for some visibility. I have come across few of them some time ago but blank at this minute to provide pointers. * Similar to logo contest, may be we should post this as a task and cross fingers if it gets picked up.

GSoC 2013: non-code projects on website, branding?
Quick sanity check: would it be worthwhile to explore having a non-code project? We often decry the lack of understandable or organized technical documentation, especially on the apache.org site. Similarly, we could do a much better job simply clearly describing things for branding, making fundraising look a little prettier, having an easier to navigate events area, etc. Should I try to find enough discrete tasks here to submit a documentation-type GSoC idea? Or is that not likely to find any students / going to be too much work to pull together? I love the idea of offering a non-heavy-code project, and I will have a little spare time over the summer (when I'm taking a 12 week leave of absence from $dayjob). Ideas?

Re: GSoC 2013 - A better interface for students to select projects
Hi All, I am giving a talk on Tuesday about Student Engagement with Apache Projects - http://na.apachecon.com/schedule/presentation/134/. As I polish my slides, I realize the improvements on GSOC will be a great topic to brainstorm in this session. Any volunteers to help me with this talk? I realize its last minute, but if Norin or Uli would like to summarize GSOC in this session that will be great as well. I will be traveling today to Portland but available all day tomorrow if we can chat in person.

Re: GSoC 2013 - A better interface for students to select projects
+1 What I like about our current approach is that it filters out those who are not willing to work with an issue tracker which is a fairly common thing to do as an open source developer. Concensus at the summit seemed to be that it's a good idea to filter out those very early that are not willing to put in some effort. We can ask our projects to give some more information about their ideas and have them provide that information as labels in jira. Students can then filter for those labels.

Sounds good, but beyond that we shouldn't hold the student's hands too much IMO - we want those who are not ready to do their homework to fail early ;-) -Bertrand
GSoC 2013 - A better interface for students to select projects
Currently, PMCs have been entering project ideas as JIRAs defects, and students have been browsing a JIRA query that aggregates the ideas from all PMCs. I would like to make things a little more simple for the students to find the project that best match their skiils or the areas of their interest. The idea is to crawl our jira issues and add some more metadata to the jira based on foap project details, and then present a UI where students can have more choices to filter project ideas, like by language (e.g. c or java ) , by area (e.g. cloud), etc Thoughts ? Other possible things we could add on this tool ? -- Luciano Resende http://people.apache.org/~lresende http://twitter.com/lresende1975 http://lresende.blogspot.com/
