+1 - My GSoC mentoring experiences were quite positive. I'll offer to help
out.

Steve, Walter, Anton are you willing to mentor as well? Anyone else?

Thanks for this.

Just want to be sure you guys see this. It might be good to see if we can
drum up some students to work on either PAGC enhancements or Router
enhancements. Anyone willing to take on a mentor role.

Hello,

Happy new year to all and thank you all who made SoC 2008 a roaring success.
:D

Google has announced that SoC *will* run this year but at a reduced scale.
However there is no guarantee that we will be accepted as an organization.
To have a better chance I'd like to get an early start.

So, let's get organized now for SoC 2009. If we can show that we have a lot
of potential students lined up I'm confident that it will help us get
accepted and maybe help us get the projects we want.

The first step would be to invite all who would be interested in mentoring
to sign up to the OSGeo SoC mailing list[1]. At the same time we should go
through last year's ideas page and check off projects that were done and
that are no longer relevant. Once this is done it is time to start to come
up with new ideas. It would be really nice if we could have a few ideas that
cross the project boundaries. Yes I know it can be difficult. We should also
think about talking to other projects that are somehow related to what we
do, projects like PostGIS. Maybe work together on the Drupal Geo module?[2]

Lets keep the discussion on the soc list so that people who aren't
interested in Soc won't be too much annoyed. ;)

So who's in?
