Forum OpenACS Q&A: Looking for Google Summer of Code Mentors

The Tcl/Tk community has been accepted again to Google Summer of Code. In the past, OpenACS and .LRN has been a big component of our efforts and so we again are looking for people interested in mentoring student projects.

If you are interested, please join the Tcl-GSoC mailing list (archives and signup at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tcl-gsoc).

Details on GSoC can be found at (http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/program/home/google/gsoc2010).

Eduardo,

The list you found on the Tcl wiki is only a starting point, feel free to add ideas!

The full timeline for this year's GSoC can be found at http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/timeline

But in a nutshell:

Student applications: 29 March until 9 April
Accepted students announced: 26 April
Students code: 24 May until 9 August

From 26 April until 24 May, students get to know their community.
