Hello everybody, the TurboGears team is very happy to announce that the project has been accepted as a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2008 mentoring organization.
This means that we are looking for students who are interested in working on a TurboGears related project over the Summer and want to become part of the avant-garde that is Python web development and Open Source! Students who get accepted to the program will receive a US$ 4,500 stipend over the course of the program! We have listed a number of very interesting project suggestions on our GSoC ideas page on the wiki [1]. If you want to work with the TurboGears project, please go there and look for anything that kindles you programming-itch or feel free to come up with your own project ideas and discuss them with our mentors on the development mailing list! [2] Student applications open next Monday, March 24 and end a week later on Monday, March 31, 2008, so hurry up and get your project proposal and application ready now! If you are not a student, you can still get involved by becoming a mentor or by us helping spread the word and attracting potential student partipiciants. Watch out on the TurboGears mailing list [3] for a follow up "Help wanted!" post, which will list a few ideas on how to promote the GSoC idea and the TurboGears GSoC participation. In the meantime, you can go to our central TurboGears GSoC page [4] for more information and resources. This is a fantastic opportunity for both students and the TurboGears project. We hope that with the help of the students, Google, our GSoC team and (who knows?) you, we can have a big share in advancing the evolution of Python web frameworks! Let there be code!
