See http://sugarlabs.org/go/Summer_of_Code, which (afaik) reflects the

What scope of software projects is SL interested in mentoring this year?
I am concerned that this program may make the typical first-year
mistake of treating SoC like an opportunity to get free coding for
known projects, rather than an opportunity to mentor rewarding
internships for motivated and
On reflection, I think it might be a good thing to make a single
really excellent mentoring framework for people through sugarlabs, and
not to have two gsoc programs at all. OLPC will have a good bit of
mentoring to do to look after travelling interns, which is likely to
be a larger program than i

Did you read
Actually she said that not all the same orgs will be returning. Not the same
as saying a smaller number of orgs total. I read it as meaning that there
are ways to fail out, not that they are being any pickier than last year.

I would ask around in #gsoc on FreeNode to see if anyone has heard of
similar hard limits.
According to LH's post to the soc mailing list 2 days ago, GSoC will
support a smaller number of organizations this year, so OLPC and SL
may be lucky to be accepted.

This is something on which we should get clarification ASAP. To me, it would
be logical for OLPC to have around 2 slots and Sugarlabs to get OLPC's

No, the point I'm trying to make is that the two organizations are
very different in a dimension that is specially important for the
issue at hand.
OLPC is an organization that has a reputation of being ha
I'm copying our own gsoc list, and glad to clarify how this should work.
I mentioned to Leslie yesterday that I expected SugarLabs and OLPC
might have separate GSOC projects this year. Someone representing SL
should write and formally get on their list of supported
organizations. [note: this re
Students working on Sugar related projects don't have to be restricted
to Sugar Labs. Two GSoC 2008 students worked on OLPC projects through
other mentoring organizations; one through Python and the other I
can't recall. If there aren't enough OLPC specific projects, it would
still make sense for
Yes, but in 2007 "they" were "us", no?
Thanks, this is helpful information (I didn't know the status of
OLPC's previous GSoC work). I don't see why there is any reason to
presume that OLPC would NOT be interested in 2009 GSoC, but I don't
know of any active ideas/proposals kicking around he

To be clear, OLPC was put on GSoC 'probation' last year due to their
poor performance reporting on students' work in 2007. The

It is not necessarily the case, and in fact I'd be surprised if it were
- SJ's been doing GSoC for OLPC for the past few years afaik, and I
don't see any reason for that not to continue this year, but this is
100% speculation. Ccing SJ so he can confirm one way or the other if he
has a breather
I was pretty involved last year, I'd be happy to help out again from a
SL perspective. Particularly the Collaboration aspect.

I don't know anything about GSoC, but to minimize confusion, it seems like
it might be helpful to inform Google that all OLPC GSoC participation will
occur via Sugar Labs (if indeed this is the case). That way the GSoC
people will not be surprised whe
Excellent. Sometime next week I'll start stepping up the "Sugar Labs does
Summer of Code" stuff once more, and get in touch with Leslie - thanks for
the ping!
