[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo has been accepted as an organisation for Google Summer of code!

[Streithorst, Kip]

Hello all,

Opticks [0] will participate.  I've updated the wiki page with links to our ideas page.

For those of you unfamiliar with Opticks, we participated in Google Summer of Code last year as a standalone organization, but since we have put in an application for incubation with OSGeo [1], thought it was appropriate to participate with OSGeo in Google Summer of Code this year.

Thanks,
Kip

Code program [0]!

building up your proposals. Please have a look at the ideas page. [2]
- All: feel free to discuss on soc mailing list on how to improve this
