All:
Today is the deadline for the application for organizations to apply to be
a part of the 2017 Google Summer of Code. The good news is, the application
was completed yesterday and we are mostly set to go.
Currently we have three projects listed on our project page[1], but if you
have a project in mind for a student, you should send me the idea right
away or edit the page directly. Use the format found for the ideas already
listed on the Summer of Code page.
Please note: we don't know how many student slots we will get from Google.
In 2015, we were awarded two. But the more ideas we have, the more student
choice there will be, and the stronger our project will look as a candidate
organization.
This should be done as soon as possible. While we are editing our page and
not the original application, Google will review the page at any point and
it might not go over well if we are adding projects after the application
deadline of 1700 GMT today. I would say we should have projects added by
1700 GMT Friday, Jan. 10. They don't have to be hyper complete: just enough
to get the idea across.
Peace,
Brian
