Hi, Oh yes, you're right, it's November 1. Which means that we have less than two weeks to apply, if we wanted to apply.
I haven't seen any evidence that it's open only to organizations that participated in GSoC, but I haven't seen that much direct information about it in general, so you could be right. I would say doing it as part of the Wikimedia Foundation would be less than ideal, but still better than nothing. That's my opinion, anyway. -Yaron On Mon, Oct 17, 2011 at 5:20 PM, Lydia Pintscher <pintsc...@ontoprise.de> wrote: > Hey :) > > On Mon, Oct 17, 2011 at 23:09, Yaron Koren <ya...@wikiworks.com> wrote: >> Anyone interested in SMW, i.e. the Open Semantic Data Association, >> applying to take part in this one? > > I think applications are only open to organisations who have taken > part in GSoC before.
