From: Frank Gevaerts <frank_at_gevaerts.be>
Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:44:18 +0100 Hi all, If we want to apply to participate again to the Google Summer of Code 2012, we'll need more project ideas and more mentors. Some of us feel that we didn't really live up to the required standards last year, with too many recycled ideas (some of which turned out to be unwanted or impractical during the student application period...) and not enough mentors. If we can't improve on that, we shouldn't apply. This means we need the list of mentors and ideas a bit earlier than usual so we can actually evaluate things properly. If you have an idea that can keep someone busy for a few months, and you know it's something we want, and you're a rockbox committer, please add your idea to it to http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SummerOfCode2012. Please describe it as completely as possible using the same structure as the ideas that are already there. Note that the ideas currently there are recycled from previous years and may need some review. If you are not a committer, your ideas are of course also welcome, but please discuss them first here or on irc in #rockbox. Also, if you are a committer and you're willing to mentor a project, please add your name to the list of candidate mentors at the bottom of the page, and to the mentors list of those projects you're willing to mentor. We'd like to decide at the end of February, so we need all ideas before then. Please get thinking! We really need more ideas within the next two and a half weeks. The mentors and ideas list we have now are *not* enough! Frank PS: If you're a committer, you're interested in GSoC, and you're not planning to apply as a student, you should be in #rockbox-gsoc on irc -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
