[Mageia-discuss] GSOC 2012

[Filipe Saraiva]

Hello,

In these links, some ideas of others Linux (and other kernels)
distributions that were accepted as organizations in Google Summer of
Code 2011.

Is interesting to learn some about distributions in GSoC with the
experiences of these distributions.

Debian - http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2011/Applying
OpenSUSE - http://en.opensuse.org//openSUSE:GSOC_2011_Ideas
Fedora - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_ideas_for_2011

Thanks,

> The deadline is rather tight, so do not lose much time. I propose to

> - have a committed member of the community as mentor
> - take only a limited number of proposal per mentor ( to avoid him being

> - have a backup ( no backup, no proposal, no exception )
> - have realistic and interesting project for a student in a 2 months
> time frame.
>
> Keep in mind that the deadline will be around the release of Mageia 2,
> so this may affect availability of mentors.

> What to do :
> - complete the page started on the wiki. There is still various TODO to
> put what is still needed to be fixed.
> - add links to various sources of information, be it others
> organisations applying, or summary of do and don't, etc.
> - review
> http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2012/org_admin_agreement

> - clean the proposal page from drafts before applying
> - apply
>
> I guess we could use a blog post for that, but we have first to speak of
> fosdem, of the sysadmin trip to datacenter, etc.
