Hi mentors, we already have a couple of applications, of which at least one looks extensive and well written. Please go to http://code.google.com/soc/2008/squeak/open.html and start reviewing them! Giovanni

Summer of Code - Students submissions now open
by Giovanni Corriga 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Hi all, Student registration for the Google Summer of Code 2008 has just opened. All students interested in submitting an application should do so by going to http://code.google.com/soc/2008/student_step1.html and following the instructions in that page. The webform has two sections: - the first is an Abstract, that is a short description of the project that you'd like to submit. This will be used in Google's public GSoC website; if you need some examples, look at Squeak's project from last year: http://code.google.com/soc/2007/squeak/about.html . - the second version is a Detailed Description. In this section you should add a more extensive description of your project, with details on the problem that you'd like to solve, technical aspects, an approximate schedule/roadmap etc. You should also add a short description of yourself and of your Smalltalk skills. As happened last year, previous Smalltalk knowledge is not needed, provided you agree to learn the language and the environment before the beginning of the coding phase ;) Ciao, Giovanni

Student registration is open - how to proceed ?
by cdrick 25 Mar '08

Hi, Student registration is just opened. Go there, once you're logged with your google account (http://code.google.com/soc/2008/student_step1.html) Then, first step is to fill general information.Second step is more "important" and at least two of us don't really know what to do. There is a public abstract: "Abstract (2500 character limit, text only, no HTML) The Abstract of an accepted student application is displayed on the public GSoC web site. Please do not include personal information." Then a detailled description: "Detailed Description (7500 character limit, text only, no HTML) The Detailed Description of a student application is visible only to mentors and will not be displayed on the public GSoC web site". What Math kindly joined in the previous post looks more like a cover letter. Is it what's expected in the abstract (or maybe I missed a step)? Does google uses this information to determine how many student slots we can get ? Can we have some feedback ? Maybe we could organize an irc meeting ? Thanks, Cédrick

Organization help for us Newbies?
by Ken Causey 21 Mar '08

Hello, Francios Stephany is interested in applying for my IRCBot project idea but not having participated myself last year I'm not too sure how to proceed. Can we have some sort of organizational meeting on IRC in the next few days? Or barring that would it be possible to see examples of student applications from last year? Thanks, Ken

Andreas Raab ha scritto: > Nice job. What's the next steps? > Those of you with a stable IRC connection should hang around in #squeak and #gsoc on irc.freenode.org and do some PR for those students that will come looking for information about Squeak's proposed projects. I'll do that as soon as possible, too. In a couple of days, Google will open the students applications and students will start submitting their proposals to us, taking them either on http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6032 or coming up with their own ones. Ciao, Giovanni
