[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo has been accepted at Google Summer of Code 2014!

[Anne Ghisla]

Hello all, and sorry for cross-posting,

Hamish, Dustan and I have the great pleasure to announce that OSGeo has
been accepted once again as a mentoring organization to the Google
Summer of Code program [0]! Have a look at the great variety of OSGeo
and guest software projects listed on the main OSGeo ideas page on the
wiki - it will be another diverse, lively patchwork of open geospatial
toolsets [2].

What to do now?

- Would-be mentors: have a look at Mentors Guide, discuss with previous
years' mentors for guidance and wait for more instructions on how to
register. All links and info will be available shortly at [1]

- Would-be students: talk with the developers of your preferred
software project(s) and start working on your proposals. Have a look at
the Ideas pages for inspiration [2].

- All: feel free to discuss on soc mailing list on how to improve this
year's SoC, and add your ideas to the wiki [3] 

Next item in calendar: Student application period opens -  March 10 at
19:00 UTC [4]. 

For any question that is not listed in the FAQs [5], just ask on soc
list.
