Fw: [GSoC 2009] Apache is officially participating in Google Summer of Code 2009

[Michael Glavassevich <mr...@ca.ibm.com>]

Hi all,

Applications for this summer's GSoC will be starting on Monday. As many of
you know Xerces has participated the last three years. Looking forward to
the opportunity again.

I'm planning on posting a couple project ideas or so for Xerces-J. If
you're also interested in being a mentor feel free to add your own ideas to
the Wiki, and if you're a student interested in participating we'd like to
hear from you with your ideas.

Thanks.
