Subject: [OSGeo-Edu] OSGeo Google Summer of Code 2014 - ideas needed!

Hello all, and sorry for cross posting,

this year, Google Summer of Code starts earlier than usual: the applications for mentoring organisations are already open, and will close on February 14th.

For who is new to Summer of Code, it is a global program that offers students stipends to write code for open source projects. See more at
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2014  

OSGeo is going to apply for GSoC 2014, and the first task is to set up Ideas pages for all projects, before February, 14th. It is a little more than a week!

The Ideas page is being built here, and shall contain links to all the geospatial projects involved:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014_Ideas
The links from past year are commented in the wiki page. If you have trouble editing the wiki let me or Hamish know.

I encourage developers, teachers and students to start working on ideas for GSoC and populate the Ideas pages of the related project.
Please forward this mail, or the link to OSGeo GSoC wiki pages, to all the interested people and projects.

If you have questions, please send a mail to the dedicated mailing list soc at lists.osgeo.org .

Thanks everyone in advance for your contribution to the Ideas pages - let's do our best to get OSGeo accepted in GSoC 2014!
