Would like to know if MacPorts would be participating this year ? Looking forward for an awesome Summer. P.S: Not a student anymore but would like to give a helping hand if required :) -- Jackson Isaac

Looking forward for an > awesome Summer. We skipped last year because we felt like we had too much stuff lying around that was not integrated into base. That turned out well, as we were also quite busy with the migration. As there was no reaction yet, what is the feeling about returning this year? Anyone up for being the organization contact handing in the application, coordinating potential mentors, and collecting ideas? The deadline is next Thursday, February 9th, https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ Rainer

If we are planning to apply this year I would be more than happy to apply as organization on behalf of MacPorts. I would also like to know the status of 2015 project on "Portfile generation framework". On GSoC 2015 website I am able to see only 2 projects (https://www.google-melange.com/archive/gsoc/2015/orgs/macports). Bradley, Can you please share if the student passed or failed the final review since you were the mentor for Portfile generation project? Also, I can update the stats on our wiki at https://trac.macports.org/wiki/SummerOfCodeOrgApplication. -- Jackson Isaac

Hi Jackson, in the beginning the student immediately began questioning the viability and usefulness of the project, did no work toward the project and eventually quit school and programming and moved home to his parents. I failed him. Regards, Bradley Giesbrecht (pixilla)
