Hi,
These are the GNU projects guidelines to participate in Google Summer of
Code.
http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/guidelines.html
More about Google Summer of Code http://code.google.com/soc/http://code.google.com/soc/studentfaq.html will give you Frequently asked
questions like
1. What is Summer of Code 2006?
Summer of Code 2006 is a program that offers student developers stipends to
create new open source programs or to help currently established projects.
Google will be working with a variety of open source, free software, and
technology-related groups to identify and fund several hundred projects over
a three-month period. The inaugural instance of the program, which took
place last summer, brought together 400 students and 40 mentoring
organizations from 49 countries. We'd like to include even more
organizations and participants this year.
The program's goals are to inspire young developers and provide students in
Computer Science and related fields the opportunity to do work related to
their academic pursuits during the summer, and to support existing open
source projects and organizations. Since we're looking to find developers
around the world (many of whom may have considered creating open source
software but havent yet taken the plunge), we felt that concentrating on the
student population was a good place to focus our efforts. Further, since no
single organization could possibly mentor hundreds of students working on
disparate projects, we thought it made sense to spread the work throughout
the open source and free software community. We also think that the Apache
Software Foundation (for instance) knows a lot more about what an Apache
project needs than Google does and is more likely to ensure that an
applicant gets the right kind of guidance so they can create acceptable
code.
I really hope some of you join in. I'm sure it will be a really good
opportunity to learn with some of the best programmers of the world (and
ofcourse $4500).
Regards
Praveen

We can discuss the details this sunday. If anyone can check the status it
would be great.
Hi there,

Hi
I suggest we meet over this weekend (how about Sunday as Saturday seems to
be working day for many).
http://bangalore.gnu.org.in/?Bandipur
I look forward to this trip as an excellent opportunity to build a strong
team and of course have fun. We can come out with detailed plan for the
GPLv3 event as well.
Lookinf forward to your comments.

| Hi Anand,
|
| I beleive you are in Bangalore, currently.
|
| Would be great to have you tell us more about HURD -> its
| development, action plans. Probably the HURD users could meet up
| and you could guide us through. There are about 5-6 users currently.
|
| Please let us know your availability.
`----
Except Saturday noon to Sunday evening, I am available any time.
I can give a talk on GNU/Hurd internals and may be GNU Guile too.

Hi,
Now that Anand Babu is here, wouldn't it be worthwhile to discuss
Google's Summer of Code as well ? Wouldn't it be neat if we can get
some students to write code for GNU ?
Speaking of this, there's this old academic project of mine which
is checked into hurdextras repository last week :
http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/jfs/?root=hurdextras
Though AB was not directly involved, I ought to buy him a chai or
something for this - it was a talk given to him at my college that
made me choose such a project. That old charm of his should surely
still work great among current generation of students as well ;-)
Thanks,
Sajith.

To: hurd-devel(a)gnu.org, bug-hurd(a)gnu.org, l4-hurd(a)gnu.org
Hi!
For those who don't know it yet: Google's Summer of Code,
<URL:http://code.google.com/soc/>, is a project organized by Google where
capable students can sign up to work on tasks (software projects) that
are offered my mentoring parties. A pecuniary aid is also involved. See
the above URL for details (or ask me).
The GNU project is participating in this year's Summer of Code, which
leads to question if the Hurd project, being part of the GNU project, is
also going to offer some tasks and evaluate tasks which might possibly be
submitted by the potential workmen themselves.
I could imagine handling the task of mentoring with the help of the whole
Hurd community. That is, I'd be the official mentor for the projects
we're going to submit. But for sure I'll need a backup who would at
least care at the times I won't be available, especially for two weeks in
August (which is near the end of the project), which I'll most probably
spend with a concert band in Canada, perhaps without any possibilities to
work on the Summer of Code stuff.
Who could also imagine being a mentor for the Summer of Code?
Possible projects I thought about submitting include `libchannel',
`pfinet rewrite', `nfs / nfsd rewrite / enhancement', `GNU Mach on Xen'.
If you have ideas for other projects, please don't hesitate to tell me.
It is also possible that you come up with suggestions for projects which
you then consider yourself applying for.
Please hurry up with your answers; the deadline for submitting the
proposals is quickly getting nearer.
Regards,
Thomas
I am in Bangalore till end of this month. Can we all meet at some
coffee shop?
I also want to introduce few more free software hackers to our group
this time.
