Google Summer of Code 2009
Just a short reminder that the application phase for the Google Summer of Code 2009 is running.
So far, we have quite few applications. Deadline is April 3rd, 19:00 UTC. Usually applications arrive rather late, but still I have the impression that we have much less than the previous years. But less copy & paste, too.
If you are interested in doing a GSoC project at Debian:
- Check the Debian Wiki which has all kind of relevant information.
- Talk to Debian people
- Make sure it’s related to Debian (and not just “runs on Linux”)
- Talk to Debian people
- Make sure your application shows your genuine interest and has some original ideas, copy & paste will not be sufficient
- Talk to Debian people
I hope to see more applications - and good luck that we get enough slots for all of you!
P.S. as far as I can tell, current Debian Developers can be eligible as well, although it has also always been a goal of the project to get new contributors involved.
