Hi all,
As every year, Google launched its "Google Summer of Code " initiative from June to September 2013. Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers student developers stipends (5000 US dollars) to write code for various open source software projects during summer (3 months). A unique opportunity for students to participate in the development of free software.
More details are available online here: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2013
I am the co-admin of GSOC 2013 for ESUG (European Smalltalk User Group) community and we will propose the March 29, 2013, projects for students in the context of the GSOC 2013 program.
If you are a student and you want to discover a new programming language (Smalltalk) do not hesitate to contact me.
You can also visit our website: http://gsoc2013.esug.org/
and join the mailing list for students: http://groups.google.com/group/smalltalk-gsoc-students
Students will have to choose their project between April 22 and May 3, 2013.
You can find more information about the Smalltalk programming language Smalltalk and its eco-system here: http://www.world.st/

Dear Smalltalkers,
Time for your cool project ideas on this year Smalltalk GSoC!
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. Deadline is end of March, so we have three weeks of time. To see how fully developed ideas look like please look at 2012 ones at: http://gsoc2012.esug.org/ideas.
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. Last year 6 student proposed projects were accepted and finished successfully!
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.
We are namely preparing an application to this year Smalltalk Google Summer of Code under ESUG umbrella, as last year. If accepted, Google will pay few stipendiums to students on our Smalltalk projects.
