If you're not +familiar with it, see: + +https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/ + +We decided to apply a while back, but it's now time for orgs to +actually apply - the deadline is just a few days away (Feb 20th). + +The main priorities right now are: + + * Refreshing the list of project ideas. I've done some cleaning up, + but the better the breadth and depth of ideas we have, the more + likely we are to be selected: + + https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/GSoCProjectIdeas + + Ideas do *NOT* have to be for work on Xapian itself - projects + related to Xapian in other software are within scope (e.g. + integrating Xapian into a framework, or adding Xapian search to an + application). You'll need to provide mentoring related to the + other software, but we can help out with Xapian-specific questions. + + Ideas don't need to be fully planned out - we expect the students to + do some research, planning and to discuss the project as part of + getting from the project idea to their proposal. But we do need to + clearly say what the aims are, give some pointers to useful + resources, and a list of required or beneficial skills. And the + scope needs to be suitable for taking a student developer about 12 + weeks of full time work to complete (ideally including getting it + merged). + + If you have a suitable idea, feel free to add it to the page, or + raise it for discussion here or on IRC. + + This list is one of the key things google look at when reviewing org + applications, so we want it to be in great shape by 20th. You can + still add or improve ideas after then, but it's less likely to make a + difference to us being selected. + + * Identifying potential mentors. Every idea on the list should have at + least one suitable potential mentor attached. + + If you're interested in acting as a mentor for one of the ideas + there, please update the page. + + One of the questions I need to answer in the org applications is + how many mentors we have, so if you are interested in mentoring, then + speaking up in the next few days would be helpful. It's OK for us to + end up with more mentors than we say at this point, but being able to + realistically respond will likely help our application. + + * Talking to the students who've started to appear. + +If you are a student eligible for GSoC and interested in working on +Xapian, please feel free to get in touch. You don't have to choose from +the ideas on the list - you're welcome to propose your own project +ideas. + +If you want to discuss being a mentor or a student, or a project idea, +you can do so on the mailing list or on #xapian on freenode (if you +aren't already an IRC user, see https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/GSoC_IRC for +links to a web IRC client). + +There's also a general GSoC IRC channel - #gsoc on freenode. + +Cheers, + Olly + + +--=-=-=-- -- 2.26.2
