TPF has been accepted by Google as a mentoring organization: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/; from their website:
<< We'll begin accepting student applications on Monday, March 24, 2008, so you have a full week to get to know more about what your would-be mentors are looking for and to hone your proposal ideas. Remember, the more a mentoring organization knows about you, and you about their code base and community, the more likely it is that your application will be attractive to your potential mentors >> If you meet google's criteria and are thinking of applying, please feel free to ask questions about parrot related projects on [EMAIL PROTECTED], or about perl6 (rakudo, pugs, et al.) on perl6-compiler. We also have a presence on #parrot and #soc-help on irc.perl.org, as well as #perl6 on freenode. See http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008_projects for some project ideas if you're a student, or to suggest projects. Good luck, and I look forward to seeing some exciting projects. =-) -- Will "Coke" Coleda
