All, As a follow-up, Mozilla has been accepted into Google Summer of Code 2016!
What this means to you: * If you haven't listed a project yet, but are still interested. Please add it to the ideas page [1] before the student application period begins (March 14th, 2016)! * If you have listed a project, you might want to fill out more details such that students can better understand your project [2] (check out the Calendar projects, Fallen did a great job with those descriptions!) * As a mentor, you can expect students to start coming and talking to you about their application, I've written a blog post you can point them to for help [3] * We (Florian and I) will start inviting mentors to the GSoC website when there are applications submitted for their projects, if you'd like to be invited sooner please send us an email Please let us know if you have any questions, Patrick & Florian [1] https://wiki.mozilla.org/Community:SummerOfCode16:Brainstorming [2] https://wiki.mozilla.org/Community:SummerOfCode16 [3] http://patrick.cloke.us/posts/2016/03/07/thoughts-on-applying-to-gsoc/ On 2/12/16 12:20 PM, Patrick Cloke wrote: > All, > > Just a reminder that we're still looking for project ideas for Google > Summer of Code 2016.
