I am afraid but that is not how it works. We will only consider
students for an eventual GSoC participation who have already
contributed to Amarok and are familiar with the code base, and where
we have an idea about their coding skills. We get several dozens of
applications each year and will only work people who integrate well
with the project. The goal of GSoC is not you getting a lot of money
for some summer work, but for Free Software projects to get new
contributors. It is a lot of work for the mentors, so we choose
carefully.

So please, subscribe to the mailing list first, it is tiresome to
always have to get your mails form the moderation queue.

Also please, do NOT top-post on a mailing list unless it is explicitly
required, as it makes following a discussion annoying.


Regards, Myriam
