GSoC applications
We really need to get prepared for the GSoC programme. Things to do
include the following (please volunteer to take some of these):
- Apply to be a mentor org on or shortly after March 8th (Noirin - it's
a simple online application, see http://socghop.appspot.com/)
- Get projects to label JIRA issues with ("mentor" and "gsoc") and if
appropriate assign issue to the proposed mentor (Ross)
- Move old wiki content to the ComDev site (at the very least provide links)
- copy GSoC timeline to comdev site
(http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/faqs#timeline)
- adjust timeline to accomodate our admin activities
- inform mentors of the timeline
- Prepare a press release with Sally
- Get "nearby people" app up and running - we're still waiting for the
zone from infra
Our admins this year are:
Noirin - lead
Ross - co-admin
Luciano - co-admin
Of course, we really appreciate any other help offered.

Aaand, one last question :-) How many students did we have accepted in
previous years, and how many finished?
I've been trawling code-awards trying to work this out, but am not
having a whole lot of joy.

Appologies, that is a change from last year (or I forgot with lack of

LinkID is set in your profile - it's not your e-mail address, but the
UID that Melange uses to identify you.
If you go to http://socghop.appspot.com/user/edit_profile you should see it

Applications don't open until tonight my time, but in case anyone
wants to help out, here are the questions I'll have to answer, from
the GSoC FAQ :-)
A lot of these seem familiar - I gather the webapp no longer provides
access to last year's answers, but if anyone happened to keep notes on
how we answered these questions last year, I'd be delighted to get a
copy. I'll try to keep notes on this year's answers anyway :-)
Thanks!

I've moved enough of this content over for me to send out the mails to
PMCs. I've noted in the wiki pages what has already been moved. Will be
visible on the site in the next sync.

Sounds good to me, I was thinking the same thing after reviewing the
docs that you created.
We can simply create modules in JIRA with names like GSoC-Tomcat or
simply GSoC, and people can link from their to their own trackers or
project pages.

Thinking about it, we need to provide a single page for all proposals.
This means it is easier for us, in the long run, to have everything in JIRA.
I've therefore left it as "contact dev@", I think we ought to create a
"module" in the community dev JIRA for each project not using JIRA. That
way they can still list them in JIRA, perhaps with a link to their own
issue tracker.
I can then set up separate queries for these projects so they appear in
the community dev website.

Thanks Bertrand, in my draft it says "contact dev@community.a.o" better
to have a concrete solution in the initial mail.

Note that not all projects use JIRA, so I think we need to keep
http://wiki.apache.org/general/SummerOfCode2010 as an entry point, and
add a link from that to the JIRA query.
Projects that don't use JIRA can then add their proposals, or links to
them, on that wiki page.
