[geomoose-psc] FW: [OSGeo-Discuss] Call for OSGeo projects and mentors for Google Summer of Code 2013

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering about how we might use this program this year.  Anyone have any ideas?

I can volunteer to act as GSOC/GeoMoose project rep if there is no one else interested.

Bobb

>>  
>>  Hello all!
>>  
>>  like past years, OSGeo is applying to become a mentoring
>>  organisation during Google Summer of Code 2013 [0,1].
>>  
>>  As part of the application process, I welcome developers from
>>  every OSGeo project to update the relevant Ideas pages (see past
>>  years' Ideas pages for guidance [2]). I welcome every project to
>>  choose a representative, in order to make communication more
>>  effective.
>>  
>>  
>>  I am extending the call to OSGeo-Edu mailing list, as many open
>>  geospatial labs would like to spread the news among their
>>  students, and professors can consider to apply as mentors.
>>  
>>  
>>  The deadline for OSGeo application is end of March [3]. Thanks in
>>  advance for your contribution!
>>  
>>  
>>  == For developers and potential Mentors ==
>>  
>>  Is there a feature that your pet project would benefit from, and
>>  can be developed by a student in roughly three months under your
>>  supervision?
>>  It's time to describe it in the Ideas page of your project, write
>>  about it in the usual communication channels (mailing lists,
>>  forums) and unusual (university pinboards!) and look for the
>>  student who will complete it.
>>  
>>  
>>  == For potential GSoC Students ==
>>  
>>  First, read carefully the eligibility criteria from Google [4],
>>  then contact the developers of your favorite(s) project(s). Feel
>>  free to either pick up a proposed Idea, or to propose your own.
>>  
>>  
>>  
>>  We look forward for a vast geographical and linguistic (both
>>  spoken and compiled languages) diversity in contributions!
>>  
>>  More details on OSGeo application will be forwarded to SoC list
>>  soon.
