Dear Smalltalkers,

Tenth GSoC is here and application deadline is earlier this year, already next Friday!

Time therefore for your cool project ideas on this year Smalltalk GSoC Hurry up!

For now just express any idea you have here on the mailing list. Later we will together develop it to be in complete format together with two mentors needed. To see how fully developed ideas look like please look at 2012 ones at:http://gsoc2013.esug.org/ideas.

Ideally (but not necessary right now) you should prepare an idea following this template:

-----------------------------------------------

Title:

Level: (beginner, intermediate, advanced)

Possible mentor: (can be assigned later)

Possible second mentor: (can be assigned later)

Description

Technical Details

Benefits to the Student

Benefits to the Community

-------------------------------------------------

Note also that students yourselves can propose a GSoC project. So if you like to be a student on this year GSoC and have a nice idea, don't be shy and propose it here! The community will listen you and guide to the really nicely proposed project.

For the community, start looking around for students. Think about how to approach the universities near by you, do you know who to contact there, etc.

Our special website is in preparation and will be online in few days. Official Google GSoC site is here:
