Google Summer of Code 2008
|
|
The application process for Google Summer of Code 2008 - (http://
code.google.com/soc/2008/) - has started. For those who don't know,
this is a Google-sponsored project that pays student developers to
work on Open Source projects. The deadline for mentor organization
applications is Wednesday March 12th 1900GMT.
Enlightened Perl (http://www.enlightenedperl.org/) has chosen to
apply as a mentoring organisation for GSoC, working in co-operation
with the Perl Foundation. Enlightened Perl's aims are to promote the
use of Perl as a high-level, enterprise-grade solution, and to
collect and distribute funding and support for modules and
applications that further such a use of Perl. It currently has the
support of the development leaders for Catalyst, Jifty, DBIx::Class,
RT, svk and Moose, and potentially many more.
The Enlightened Perl coordinator for GSoC2008 is well, me :) (IRC:
Penfold on irc.perl.org, Email: epo[at]altrion.org).
We need:
* suggestions for projects: please add these to the Enlightened Perl
section on http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?
gsoc2008_projects. Not all students will want to take on a suggested
project - some will propose a project of their own (and frequently
have a lot of success doing so). The GSoC schedule allocates roughly
2 1/2 months of development time to individual projects.
* volunteers for people to act as mentors (either for a specific
project or in general). This will require a certain time commitment -
you will be expected to be in touch with both your student and the
Enlightened Perl coordinator for a couple of short Agile-style
'standup' meetings every working day. If you're willing, please add
yourself to http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?
gsoc2008_mentors.
If you want more information, feel free to ask on IRC (#soc or #epo
on irc.perl.org) and/or check the GSoC and EP websites.
