[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: [Geotools-devel] Google Summer of Code

This person would be Frank or I. I think if there were going to be
projects from the GeoTools or JUMP/OpenJUMP communities I would handle
it. Unless of course, Frank objected.

Good timing - we were talking about this very topic in todays GeoTools
meeting. And arriving at a similar spot - that OSGeo would be the best
organization for the task.

What we initial need however is someone on the "admin" side to get the
OSGeo effort underway; perhaps provide a template for "ideas" and help
play match maker when the students come to call.

Is this person you?

PS. Ideas for any of these email lists are not a problem; from last
years experience I would recommend spending effort on making sure the
ideas are communicated well.
PS. CCing a bunch of lists does not work (everyone get's bounce messages
as they hit "reply-to-all", and you need to tag in the OSGeo discussion
list.
