[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo's GSOC 2017 - countdown -1 to opening of student's application period

[Helmut Kudrnovsky]

Dear OSGeo community, students,



* according to the Google Summer of Code 2017 Timeline [1], tomorrow at

          => March 20 16:00 UTC

student's application period will start. 



* There will be time until

          => April 3 16:00 UTC 	Student application deadline

to sketch and refine the student's applications.



This is a good chance and time now for

* OSGeo projects and guest projects to update the ideas lists [2]
* Mentors to update the mentors list [3]
* Former OSGeo-GSoC-students from earlier years to contribute and volunteer as e.g. co-mentors
* Would-be proactive students to internalize the recommendations [4] and discuss and refine the great GSoC ideas with the communities!


Happy coding!

The OSGeo GSoC Team
