[OSM-talk] Google Summer of Code

[Graham Jones]

Hi All,
OSM has taken part in the Google Summer of
Code<http://code.google.com/soc/>programme for the last few years, and
we are thinking of applying to take
part again this year.
The programme is to encourage university students to participate in open
source projects.   They receive a payment from Google to allow them to work
on computer coding projects over the summer break rather than taking other
work.  OSM receives a small contribution for its participation too.

To take part OSM has to provide a list of 'project ideas' for challenging,
but achievable projects, then offer a mentor to help the successful
students achieve their project goals.

We have started an ideas page at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GSoC_Project_Ideas_2012.   Please will
you have a look, and add any project ideas you can come up with to the list?
Also, if you would be willing to act as a mentor, please make a note on
that page too.

We need to complete the project ideas list this week, so please put down
anything you can think of eary.

If you would like any more information, please let me know.

Thanks


Graham.
