Greetings one and all,
As some of you may have noticed, at the end of January Google
officially announced its plans to hold their Summer of Code program.
For those who don't know, it is an opportunity for scholastic students
to work with an open source project during May through August. This is
an excellent opportunity for students to gain coding experience in an
open source ecosystem such as Haiku, while at the same time receiving
monetary compensation for successful projects. Additional details can
be found on the GSoC homepage [0].
A general GSoC2010 flyer and individual pieces of artwork are already
available[1].
Haiku's preliminary project ideas page is currently available on the
bug tracker's wiki[2]. This page needs feedback, particularly by
developers to indicate:
* which could be a stand-alone project
* which need to be paired with additional projects
* which projects are simply not suitable
In addition to project ideas, it would be appreciated to consider
participating as a mentor. In past years, the pool of mentors has
remained largely unchanged. I encourage you to show support and
appreciation of their efforts by volunteering your time to mentor a
student and help them grow into a longterm contributor.
If you were a mentor in previous years and do not plan to participate
this year, please send a message to the haiku-mentors mailing list or
to myself.
Some notes on how Haiku's participation could be structured is also
detailed on that wiki[3]. Information pertinent to both prospective
students and mentors is included.
Eventually, this information will be finalized on Haiku's Drupal website[4]
