[Sbcl-devel] SBCL in Google Summer of Code 2014

[Christophe R. <cs...@ca...>]

Hi all,

SBCL's been accepted to participate as a mentoring organization in
Google's Summer of Code 2014.  This means that students will be able to
apply for summer projects; between 10th and 21st March, students will be
uploading their proposals for work that they would like to do.

Before then, two things need to happen.  Anyone who would be interested
in mentoring a student over the Summer needs to sign up somewhere under
<https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2014> and let
me know who they are.  Meanwhile, any potential student applicants
(check your eligibility at
<https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2014/help_page#2._Whos_eligible_to_participate_as_a>)
are strongly advised to get involved in the community, discussing
potential projects and working on establishing relationships; Paul
Khuong's blog from last year,
<http://www.pvk.ca/Blog/2013/04/13/starting-to-hack-on-sbcl/>, is still
relevant.  The quality and potential of the project proposals directly
influences how many projects get funding.

I look forward to what happens!

Cheers,

Christophe
