> Google Summer of Code [1] is a program sponsored by Google allowing =
students to spend their summer
> working on open source software. Students will receive stipends for =
developing open source software
> full-time for three months. Projects will provide mentoring and =
project ideas, and in return have
> the chance to get new code developed and - most importantly - to =
identify and bring in new committers.
>=20
> The ASF will apply as a participating organization meaning individual =
projects don't have to apply
> separately.
>=20
> If you want to participate with your project we ask you to do the =
following things by no later than
> 2015-02-13 19:00 UTC (applications from organizations close a week =
later)
>=20
> 1. understand what it means to be a mentor [2].
>=20
> 2. record your project ideas.
>=20
> Just create issues in JIRA, label them with gsoc2015, and they will =
show up at [3]. Please be as
> specific as possible when describing your idea. Include the =
programming language, the tools and
> skills required, but try not to scare potential students away. They =
are supposed to learn what's
> required before the program starts.
>=20
> Use labels, e.g. for the programming language (java, c, c++, erlang, =
python, brainfuck, ...) or
> technology area (cloud, xml, web, foo, bar, ...) and record them at =
[5].
>=20
> Please use the COMDEV JIRA project for recording your ideas if your =
project doesn't use JIRA (e.g.
> httpd, ooo). Contact dev@community.apache.org if you need assistance.
>=20
> [4] contains some additional information (will be updated for 2015 =
shortly).
>=20
> 3. subscribe to mentors@community.apache.org; restricted to potential =
mentors, meant to be used as a
> private list - general discussions on the public =
dev@community.apache.org list as much as possible
> please). Use a recognized address when subscribing (@apache.org or one =
of your alias addresses on
> record).
>=20
> Note that the ASF isn't accepted as a participating organization yet, =
nevertheless you *have to*
> start recording your ideas now or we might not get accepted.
>=20
> Over the years we were able to complete hundreds of projects =
successfully. Some of our prior
> students are active contributors now! Let's make this year a success =
again!
