Hello, all, There is just under a week left for us to apply to participate in Google Summer of Code 2017 <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/> as a mentoring organisation. This is a fantastic program that helps grow open source communities by paying students from around the world to work on open source projects over the course of the summer. Clojure participated from 2012–2015, and many notable projects have benefited as a result, include Clojure in Clojure, ClojureScript, Type Clojure(Script), Clojure/Android, Incanter, and more. Not just that, many past students have spoken at conferences about their work and continue to make important contributions to the community.
I would love to see Clojure participate again this year. In order to do so, we need to prepare our application. For our application to be a success, we need widespread involvement from the community to prepare a strong project ideas page <http://clojure-gsoc.org/project-ideas.html>. You can also review the ideas from the past <http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Google+Summer+of+Code+2012> several <http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Project+Ideas+2013> years <http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Project+Ideas+2014> to help you come up with new ideas. Please add your project ideas to the page at < https://github.com/clojars/clojure-gsoc-2017/blob/master/project-ideas.md>. At this point, you are not committing to anything—we just need your ideas. We are trying something a bit new this year where you can submit your ideas via a pull request. You can also post to the mailing list using [GSoC Idea] in the subject line, and one of the administrators will add it for you. If you prefer, you can also drop into the #gsoc channel on the Clojurians slack and talk about your ideas there. If you would like to review the answers to the application <http://clojure-gsoc.org/application.html> and our profile <http://clojure-gsoc.org/profile.html>, we would appreciate the input. The application deadline the 9th of February at 17:00 UTC. A big thanks to everyone who has participated in previous years as administrators, mentors, and students. I hope that this will be another successful Google Summer of Code for Clojure. Sincerely, Daniel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
