[Indic-computing-users] Google Summer of Code

[Guntupalli K. <kar...@in...>]

Hi all,
  As many must be aware of Google Summer of Code program, where
students can apply to work with FOSS projects over short term
projects with developers from community mentoring them. This year
they plan to increase the mentoring organizations, esp from India.
  IndLinux.org will be applying for this program. I have already
written to them and hoping for a positive response.
  To begin with we need a group of people who would be willing to
mentor students. As of now the requirements for being a mentor are
not defined, but would primarily be based on the tasks to be
suggested in project list. A draft of projects/tasks todo is coming
up at 
http://www.indlinux.org/wiki/index.php/GoogleSoC
 This needs to be expanded, esp to include some concrete tasks which
can be completed by students in a 3-6 months timeframe, and mentors
be available to guide them during that time.
  
On tuesday evening (25th April) we will have an IRC meet to discuss
more about this. Timing 9pm-11pm.

Comments, suggestions welcome,

Karunakar
