[Lubuntu-desktop] GSOC - Lubuntu style?
I know I'm just a newcomer and all, but thought I'd ask since for some reason it floated into what passes for my brain: With Lubuntu's new profile and popularity -- what are the chances of making more use of the Google Summer of Code project to make some strategic advances? http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2011 I note that in the 2011 GSOC there were these sorts of numbers: No. of students - Sponsor project 31 - KDE 17 - Gnome 8 - Ubuntu 1 - LXDE I expect this is already on someone's radar, but with February as the date things get going, I expect it could probably use some attention in January. And apologies if this note is overly cheeky or presumptuous!

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] GSOC - Lubuntu style?
Hi David, thanks for your reminder. lubuntu applied for GSOC 2011, but did not get in. Neither Ubuntu nor LXDE were GSOC projects 2011 by the way. I guess you are referring to 2010. We will try to get in 2012.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] GSOC - Lubuntu style?
Thanks for the quick reply, and yes - you're right, that was 2010, not 2011. I took a quick look at 2011: Gnome was up to 24 projects, and KDE up to a whopping 47! It's probably a bit of a lottery, is it? We'll hope for greater success in 2012! Best wishes, David.

I also unsure if we can apply as a separate project from Ubuntu.

Well, IDK precisely what the GSOC does exactly, I'd like to join in, preferably as a student. I don't know if this helps.
