So Google has announced Google Summer of Code 2013. Here's the timeline: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2012. We need to have our org application and ideas page ready by March 9, which is sooner than it sounds.
The ideas page is at https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2013-Ideas, the org application is at https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2013-Organization-Application, and the student application template is at https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2013-Application-Template. So far, they are just copies of last year's stuff. So we need to go through the ideas page and remove any ideas that are no longer relevant, and also add some new ones. If someone wants to attempt an organizational cleanup of the page as well, that would be great too. We also need to go through the organization application and student template and update stuff. We won't know the actual questions until February 27 when the application period starts, but in the past they have been almost exactly the same. Any help here is greatly appreciated. Now, to the main issue. Who is willing to mentor this year? If you are willing, please add your name to the bottom of the ideas page. It's OK if you are only able to mentor certain projects. Just note that. Even if you are on the fence, add your name. The more potential mentors we have, the better it looks to Google when they are reading our application. When it comes down to it, you won't have to mentor anybody unless you want to. If you've participated as a student before, I encourage you to consider mentoring. You may also apply as a student again if you want. To the people who helped review applications last year, are there any changes you would like to see to the application template this year? I know that there was a session at last year's mentor summit about this, which Matthew, GIlbert, and Stefan attended. It would be great if you guys could review the template with that session in mind. To anyone who is interested in applying to Google Summer of Code as a student, I recommend you read through https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2013-Application-Template. Then, introduce yourself on this list (if you haven't already), and get started on fulfilling your patch requirement. You should also start discussing what idea(s) you are are interested in. We look forward to meeting you. Aaron Meurer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
