Call for ideas: Google Summer of Code 2007

[Thiago Macieira]

Hello everyone

First of all, sorry for the major mailing list cross-posting. Do NOT use 
Reply to All! This message is not intended to be replied to: it's just an 
announcement.

Feel free to pass it around to other mailing lists that I'm not subscribed 
to and that should know about this.

Last week, Google announced the 2007 edition of the Summer of Code 
program. KDE participated in the first two editions as a major 
contributor and we'd like to do it again.

While Google hasn't formally approved us yet -- they haven't even started 
receiving organisation applications at the moment -- I'd like to get 
started on the ideas. I've prepared the following page for it:

http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/SummerOfCode/Ideas2007

Feel free to edit the page and add your ideas. But please LOG IN to the 
wiki before doing so. Tracking anonymous edits isn't fun.

Also, please familiarise yourself with the project timeline:

Next, we'll start gathering mentors, so I'd like each developer to 
consider participating. If last year is any indication, you'll need a 
Google account to log in. And the more mentors we have, the easier and 
the fairer the voting will be. I'd like to achieve critical mass soon.
