Admins,
It is critical that we get an announcement out now. People in projects
are starting to prepare (Hama thinking they have to apply independently,
ANT wanting to record issues in our tracker).
We need to both a) encourage people to prepare and b) make sure they are
doing it right.
My previous announcement mails are in the archives (I'm pretty sure I've
always sent them, but not certain, last year it may have been Noirin).
We also need to update the instructions for putting issues in JIRA [1]
so that people can do it right. Note that it is important that they
format the subject correctly so they can create project specific lists
of issues for publicising to their community.
We also need to update [2] with working examples of the filters, I just
removed the broken ones.

Does your organization have an application template you would like to

students use? If so, please provide it now. Please note that it is a
very
good idea to ask students to provide you with their contact
information as
part of your template. Their contact details will not be shared with you
automatically via the GSoC 2011 site.
I think in the past we have had a general template that had things
like name, contact information, abstract, detail timeline, and also
asked how much time the student would be committing during the summer
and what other commitments they had. I think it is good to have a
free format but provide a template to make sure that such important
information is included.

For the project ideas page, we only have three so far which might make
us look a bit week. Perhaps send a clear message to this list and also
code-awards to clarify how they are to be marked. There may be some
confusion there.
Thanks
Kathey
