Google Summer of Code 2008

[Andrus Adamchik <an...@objectstyle.org>]

Any students out there? Google Summer of Code program starting now  
[1]. We (myself as a formal mentor, and other committers informally)  
will be mentoring at least one project [2] this year, so it is a  
chance for a student to:

* participate in a fun Apache open source project
* make a contribution to Cayenne that will be used by a large number  
of people worldwide
* earn $4500 in 3 months and a T-shirt ;-)

You are free to suggest your own project ideas in addition to the one  
I posted [2], but be aware that we'd like to mentor projects that can  
be included in Cayenne right away, and would not require a dedicated  
support person after the end of the GSoC (so it has to be in line with  
our immediate development goals). For instance "implement a missing  
JPA feature XYZ" is a project idea we are likely to mentor, while  
"implement NetBeans plugin for Cayenne" is not.

As a reminder - formal application submission period starts on March 24.

Feel free to ask questions on this and the dev lists.

Cheers,
Andrus

Though true, there are some here.  I, for one, am a GSoC alumnus from
last year.  Unfortunately, I'm not able to be part of the program this
summer.

Cheers,

Or add it to the Cayenne home page.  It would be nice if the main
Apache page would list SoC projects, too.  Is it possible to request
that?

IMHO you should ask/search for students somewhere else e.g. facebook or other student oriented sites.

Most of them are not aware of cayenne, so it's less probable that they'll
be subscribed here and see this :).

just an idea,

Ahmed.
