GSoC is a<br>program where Google funds eligible students to hack on open source<br>projects for a summer. It is a great opportunity for the students and<br>the communities that mentor them. You also may be interested in this<br>summary of our involvement last year [1]. Our application will be<br>submitted by the end of this week.<br><br>Please join us in getting prepared for this year. There is a page for<br>possible mentors to volunteer [2]* as well as a page for project ideas<br>[3]. If you would like to help with the wiki, our main GSoC page [4]<br>is the best place to start. You are also invited to join our mailing<br>list [5] and come ask question in #soc-help on <a href="http://irc.perl.org">irc.perl.org</a> .<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Duke<br><br>[0] <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/">http://socghop.appspot.com/</a><br>[1] <br><a href="http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2009/10/perls-of-wisdom-perl-foundation-parrots.html">http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2009/10/perls-of-wisdom-perl-foundation-parrots.html</a><br>[2] <a href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc_mentors">http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc_mentors</a><br>[3] <a href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc_2010_projects">http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc_2010_projects</a><br>[4] <a href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc">http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc</a><br>[5] <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/tpf-gsoc">http://groups.google.com/group/tpf-gsoc</a><br><br>* If you listed yourself as a mentor last year and you are not<br>interested this year, please remove yourself from the page.<br><br>--<br>Jonathan "Duke" Leto<br><a href="mailto:jonathan@leto.net">jonathan@leto.net</a><br>http://leto.net<br>--<br>Request pm.org Technical Support via support@pm.org<br><br>pm_groups mailing list<br>pm_groups@pm.org<br>http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/pm_groups<br><br></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
