I suppose I'll forward it in turn since I'm not sure whether this has been brought up already.

Date: Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 5:40 PM<br>Subject: Google Summer of Code 2009<br>To: <a href="mailto:debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org" target="_blank">debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org</a><br><br><br>Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Google are running their Summer of Code programme again this year[1],<br>
and if we want to take part again we need to apply this week. If we're<br>
accepted again as a mentoring organisation, then students will be able<br>
to apply to work with us up until the 3rd April. [2]<br>
<br>
I'm volunteering to be an admin again, and I'll deal with making the<br>
application for Debian as an organisation. Obey Arthur Liu is going to<br>
help as well this year, using his experience as one of our sucessful<br>
students last summer. Beyond that, some more admins would be useful to<br>
help out later on. If you'd like to help, let me know ASAP! [3]<br>
<br>
Blatantly stealing from Arthur's previous mail to -project:<br>
<br>
We will try this year to improve on the performance of the previous<br>
years, starting first with more and more dedicated manpower. If you<br>
have some time to spare to help manage our Summer of Code bid this<br>
year, we can make it a much better experience for the students and for<br>
Debian.<br>
<br>
Help is immediately needed in many areas. Some examples:<br>
- Map out which areas in Debian could benefit from a Summer of Code<br>
project and connect the right people with the right project's ideas<br>
- Ideas, Ideas, Ideas for Summer of Code projects<br>
<br>
By mid-March, we will need:<br>
- Dedicated documentation to present Debian to the prospective student<br>
- Publicity material to promote the Summer of Code at Debian<br>
- Ideas, Ideas, Ideas for Summer of Code projects<br>
<br>
Further in the spring:<br>
- Mentors, people to review proposals, do interviews<br>
- Ideas, Ideas, Ideas for Summer of Code projects<br>
<br>
In the summer:<br>
- Mentoring students<br>
- Testing and feedback for projects<br>
- Internal communication with the community<br>
<br>
As you can see, there is much work ahead. It's time to pitch out your<br>
favorite pet project :)<br>
Remember! The Summer of Code has become a prominent outreach forum for<br>
open source organizations. It puts a spotlight on each of them to<br>
provide a well-rounded and deep experience of open source development.<br>
<br>
Right now, you can help with the Wiki[4], join us on IRC on<br>
#debian-soc on <a href="http://irc.debian.org" target="_blank">irc.debian.org</a> or join the mailing-list at<br>
