Greetings!
The application process for Google Summer of Code 2008 -
(कोड 2008 की Google समर | Google Developers) - has started. For those who don’t
know, this is a Google-sponsored project that pays student developers to
work on Open Source projects.
We’re excited about RT being a possible Summer of Code project, under
the umbrella of the new Enlightened Perl Organisation
(http://www.enlightenedperl.org/). Enlightened Perl’s aims are to
promote the use of Perl as a high-level, enterprise-grade solution, and
to collect and distribute funding and support for modules and
applications that further such a use of Perl. In conjunction with the
Perl Foundation, Enlightened Perl is currently serving as a mentoring
organization for Catalyst, Jifty, DBIx::Class, RT, svk and Moose, and
potentially many more.
The Enlightened Perl coordinator for GSoC2008 is Mike Whitaker (IRC:
Penfold on irc.perl.org, Email: epo@altrion.org).
We need:
Suggestions for projects: please add these to the Enlightened Perl
section on
http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008_projects. Not all
students will want to take on a suggested project - some will propose a
project of their own (and frequently have a lot of success doing so).
The GSoC schedule allocates roughly 2 1/2 months of development time to
individual projects.
Volunteers for people to act as mentors (either for a specific project
or in general). This will require a certain time commitment - you will
be expected to be in touch with both your student and the Enlightened
Perl coordinator for a couple of short Agile-style ‘standup’ meetings
every working day. If you’re willing, please add yourself to
http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008_mentors.
If you want more information, feel free to ask on IRC (#soc, #epo, or
#rt on irc.perl.org) and/or check the GSoC and EP websites, or respond
to this mail.
Thanks!

The application deadline is Monday, but if you haven’t gone through a
couple rounds of feedback by then you probably won’t succeed. Last
minute applications don’t work.On Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 3:34 AM, Shawn M Moore sartak@bestpractical.com wrote:
