Google has just posted the list of accepted organizations for Summer of Code 2021, and I'm happy to report that Plan 9 has been accepted!
The first wave of eager student applicants is already checking out the ideas pages for the orgs on the list, and that'll keep up for the next few weeks. If you're a student, we'd love to talk to you! The ideas behind Plan 9 cover a wide range of skills and topics, and we can find a good fit for most folks. And if you know students looking to spend part of their summer on interesting code, please send them our way! The next big milestone is March 29, when the student application period starts. Between now and then, potential students will be checking out the various participating orgs and their ideas pages, getting in touch with the community and prospective mentors, and talking about what they'd like to work on over the summer. We've got a GSoC-specific mailing list and IRC channel, but we usually see a bunch of discussion in the main channel, too, so if folks come by asking questions, please try to be welcoming and helpful. As a reminder, we have a page dedicated to our participation in GSoC (http://p9f.org/wiki/gsoc/index.html) as well as our ideas page (http://p9f.org/wiki/gsoc-2021-ideas/index.html). We've got a bunch up there, but it's certainly not too late to add more, and for any students reading, we absolutely encourage submissions not on our list (just talk to us first so we can help you produce the strongest application). Again, we are serving as an umbrella organization, so if your interests are in Inferno, plan9port, or something else related, we would still love to hear from you. You can also check out the full list of participating orgs (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/) to see what good company we are in… or on the off chance that you're a student considering participating with someone else. No hard feelings. ;-) Your friendly neighborhood org admin, Anthony ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Ta35cde1382617430-M32af07f289087f227189b74f Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
