Google Summer of Code 2009 - Accepted!

Google Summer of Code 2009 - Accepted!

[Shawn O. Pearce]

Google has announced the selected organizations for GSoC 2009:

  http://socghop.appspot.com/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2009

Students interested in applying should look at Git's ideas list,
or any other accepted org's ideas list:

  http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/SoC2009Ideas


Mentors for Git are really needed.  I'm going to be too busy this
summer to mentor a student myself.  If we have no mentors, we'll
have to pull out late, upsetting everyone, including my boss,
and worse, LH.

I think you need not be scared of a mentor shortage.  In any case, I am 
available.

I am available too, though I will have a 2 week long vacation away from 
computer from July 10 to July 25.

Thanks,

I can probably mentor, too. Is there anything mentors should be doing at
this point, or do we just wait for applications?

Prospect mentors can add ideas to the ideas page.  They can nudge possible 
students to apply.  And they can be ready to answer questions on the 
list...

You can apply to become a mentor for Git here [0], that is, by
clicking "Apply to become a mentor" in the GSoC2009 menu, and then
selecting Git as an organization.
