All, Just a reminder that we're still looking for project ideas for Google Summer of Code 2016. Part of being accepted as an organization is whether we have a great list of project ideas or not. Currently our list is a bit lackluster: mentors from only a few areas of Mozilla have volunteered!
Please add ideas to: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Community:SummerOfCode16:Brainstorming Once Florian or I have reviewed them, we'll move ideas to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Community:SummerOfCode16 If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Florian or I directly!
