-------- Original Message -------- Subject: TUG and Google's Summer of Code 2008 Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2008 15:37:05 -0700 (PDT) From: Karl Berry Organization: http://groups.google.com Newsgroups: comp.text.tex TUG has been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google's Summer of Code 2008, so thanks to Google. http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2008/03/meet-your-mentors.html provides some background and next steps. If you are a TeX developer and have an idea for your package or program that could be usefully implemented by a student working full-time over the summer, and are (hopefully) willing to mentor the project, please email summer-of-code@tug.org with the details. See http://tug.org/gsoc/ for the ideas we've posted so far. You can also offer to mentor a package without specific projects in mind -- many students submit ideas of their own. Again, just let us know. If you are a student or know a student who might like to participate, please consider submitting an idea from the list, or one of your own. Early applications inevitably get more attention than later ones, so the sooner the better. Anyone is welcome to subscribe or post to our organizational SoC mailing list: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/summer-of-code. Thanks, Karl
