Hi everyone,
7 days to deadline for ideas of this year GSoC! Please think about what would be a nice project for students to work and that way join our community. And yes, students are welcome to propose projects too!
Let we "recycle" past project ideas too! Please review them and propose those still valuable. Or change the proposal to suit better. Here they are: http://gsoc2010.esug.org/ideas .
Let me and Carla post GSoC related stuff only on Pharo, Squeak and VWNC mailing lists while for other let someone forward those mails there please. It is just too hard to post on 10+ mailing lists, you know...
Past GSoC mentors please join the debate on special Smalltalk GSoC mentors list: http://groups.google.com/group/smalltalk-gsoc-mentors. If you want to be mentor this year you are welcome to join that list too.
Best regards Janko

Dear Smalltalkers,
Let we apply this year again for the Google Summer of Code, which as you know is a Google's stipendium program for students to encourage them working on open-source projects [1].
Ok, our first step as community is to collect ideas for possible projects and to apply to the GSoC as an organization. Deadline is next Friday, so please hurry on with ideas. Just put them as reply to this email or to admins directly and we will put them on our website [2].
Your project idea should be written as answers to these questions:
Name Level (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) Possible mentor Possible second mentor
Description Technical Details Benefits to the Student Benefits to the Community
See how such ideas look like in past: http://gsoc2010.esug.org/ideas.
Waiting for your ideas Carla and Janko, your GSoC Admin team
