> Dear Students,
> 
> Now it is your turn! You will have to register in our website first [1], put there
> some information, show interest for the projects and contact the project
> mentors. After the registration step you will get all the mentors information in
> order to contact them. By pressing the button on the project, you will show your
> interest. This is not something formal yet.
> 
> Of course you can propose your own project too. In this case write a proposal in
> a format other projects have and send it to admins (see the email on the
> bottom).
> 
> Our mentors will vote for the most interesting projects and in the middle of the
> voting Google will tell us, how many projects will actually be funded. Voting will
> happen in May, with final results expected at the end of May. At that time you
> will finally know if you are accepted or not.
> 
> Of course, there can be many students interested per project. This means that
> interest for this project is high, but on the other side a chance that you will be
> chosen is lower.  It is up to you to convince a mentor that you are the best!
> 
> Note also that the Ideas page is deprecated. On ideas page just the project ideas
> were collected. Now, we are preparing the real projects.
> So, please from now on always refer to this link for the projects:
> 
>        http://gsoc2013.esug.org/projects
> 
> So, your initial steps are:
> 
>    1. Register on our special Smalltalk GSoC website (with
>       your Google account!):
> 
>         http://gsoc2013.esug.org/admin?view=loginGoogle
> 
>    2. Edit your profile to get some more contact information for
>       mentors to let you know,
>    3. Fulfill your brief Biography page (see Biography tab on profile),
>    4. Go to Projects page, choose up to three projects and click there
>       'I'm interested' button,
>    5. Contact and discuss with project mentors about your interest.
> 
> Subscribe also to a special mailing list [2] where we will help you with further
> steps.
> 
> Deadline: as soon as possible, because the deadline to register on official GSoC
> website [3] is 3.May, which is, well, soon! But about that later...
> 
> Finally, we will really appreciate if you can help us to distribute this call for
> students. One of our goals is to increase the Smalltalk community. Those who
> have access to universities can distribute this among the students. Distribute
> also our poster [4] in many languages, English one attached.
