[Haskell-cafe] Google Summer of Code 2010.

It is that time of year again; the Google Summer of Code is upon us! *Sign Up Information* If you are a student and want to sign up to make $4,500 for hacking on the code you love over the summer or are willing to help out as a mentor, now is the time to act. Please sign up by adding your name to the list at: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/wiki/People2010 I have extracted an initial list of interested mentors from Malcolm's earlier inquiry to the cafe and have submitted our initial application to Google. A strong list of potential mentors and students will help bolster our case. Our main wiki entry for the Summer of Code 2010 is now online: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/wiki/Soc2010 If you are interested in applying as a student, here are some guidelines: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/wiki/StudApply2010 The official deadline for student applications with Google is April 7th, but if you are interested please add your name to the People2010 page above, as soon as possible. *Interested in helping out, but not sure how? * There are a number of ideas that we've been collecting for projects available through the trac http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/report/1 and which have been collecting over time in a reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell_proposals/top/ While the reddit is a great place to discuss proposals, we had to choose one mechanism to supply Google with our ideas officially, so please submit proposals <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/newticket> to the trac if you can think of something you like to work on, or which would be an appropriately beneficial project for a summer worth of work. *Helping Out Darcs * Haskell.org is going to continue to act as an umbrella organization covering darcs <http://darcs.net/> for the Summer of Code once more. If you are interested in helping them out, they also have a page full of project ideas as well: http://wiki.darcs.net/GoogleSummerOfCode Again, please submit proposals<http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/newticket>as tickets to the trac if you can think of something you'd like to work on. *More Information* Here are a bunch of relevant links that may be able to answer your questions: Google's Summer of Code Homepage <http://socghop.appspot.com/> Google's Summer of Code 2010 FAQ<http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/faqs> Google's Summer of Code 2010 Timeline<http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/timeline> Google's Summer of Code Wiki Knowledge Base<http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/WikiStart> Of course, you can always feel free to email me <ekmett at gmail.com> or inquire on irc.freenode.net #haskell-soc or with the darcs folks over on #darcs for more information.
