Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Google Summer of Code 2008<br>To: OSGeo Discussions <<a href="mailto:discuss@lists.osgeo.org">discuss@lists.osgeo.org</a>>, OSGeo SoC <<a href="mailto:soc@lists.osgeo.org">soc@lists.osgeo.org</a>><br>
<br><br>Hello fellow OSGeoers!<br><br>Google is about to announce summer of code 2008, and this year I'd like<br>to be a bit more prepared.<br><br>So for this reason I have updated our old SoC Wiki page [1] with<br>information for this year.<br>
<br>Each project should now start to think of ideas and also who their<br>mentors should be.<br><br>We should also decide on a uniform way to review the student<br>applications. Do we need/want to have an entry exam? A few questions<br>
about gis and some simple generic programming task? Do you have other ideas?<br><br>As for the ideas themselves it seems that the trend is to have not very<br>detailed but not too generic ideas either. These semi-generic ideas<br>
should get the creative juices of the students to flow, which should<br>help us in finding the best and the brightest. I think this is good<br>advice, it will allow us to judge the applications also on the base of<br>what the students come up with.<br>
<br>Also we should create a wiki page for each application we find even a<br>bit interesting to flesh it out during the review period.<br><br>In the Google SoC wiki page [2] they have some very good advice. If you<br>want to be a mentor, be sure to read them, then talk among your selves<br>
and decide on who the mentor(s) should be. Google recommends 2 mentors<br>per student (plus 1 generic backup mentor), but that depends a bit on<br>the mentors (and students), and if you are going to have a summer vacation.<br>
<br>So project mentors or people interested in SoC, please read [1] and [2]<br>and maybe start working on the idea page of your project.<br><br>[1] <a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code</a><br>
