Nice flyer. For this purpose, maybe it should be slightly modified to
look like a call for volunteers instead of looking like an ad. It
could even mention that Haiku tries to regularly participate in GSoC,
so students can make some money. Jorge, do you agree on this one and
do you feel like adapting the flyer? Now that you've left the web team
you should have lots of spare time. ;)

The next time I visit our computer science department I could put that
(adapted) flyer on our board. Actually, this task is so easy that
everyone in our community could do it.

BTW, you also make an interesting (implied) point that students might
be our most important source of potential contributors. Is there any
other way to attract students? What about posting bounties on the
bulletin board?

Bye,
Waldemar
