Hello, all, Apparently, it's already time for organisations to apply for Google Summer of Coder 2014 [1]. This is a great program, and there have been several notable projects that have benefited as a result. For example, last year's successful projects included:
* Enhance Neko for Android, Alexander Yakushev * core.typed: Extensions and Documentation, Ambrose Bonnaire-Sergeant * Clojure Compiler port to Clojure (CinC), Bronsa * Implementation of core.matrix-compatible multidimensional array in Clojure, Dmitry Groshev * Algebraic Expressions, Maik Schünemann * ClojureScript optimization and source maps support, Michal Marczyk I would love to see Clojure participate again this year. In order to do so, we need to start our application which is due in less than two weeks. We need volunteers to help prepare our application, and in particular it would be great to have administrators that can help lead the process. I am certainly willing to help out, but if there is someone who wants to lead up this effort, I would happy to assist. Ideally, we could have multiple administrators to spread out the following duties: * Updating the community wiki for the year [2] * Recruiting potential mentors * Raising the profile of GSoC within the community If we are accepted as a GSoC organisation, administrator duties include: * Ensuring we meet the deadlines * Arranging for travel to the mentor submit * Arranging for students' travel to conferences * If necessary, solve problems I am afraid that last year I let the ball drop a bit with the mentor summit and getting students to conferences. With multiple administrators to help spread the work around, I am sure we can make GSoC an even better experience for everyone involved. If you are interested in helping out in this effort, please set up a profile on Melange [3] and e-mail me your profile name. Thanks for your help.
