Subject: Google Summer of Code 2010 is On......<br>To: Google Summer of Code Discuss <<a href="mailto:google-summer-of-code-discuss@googlegroups.com">google-summer-of-code-discuss@googlegroups.com</a>><br><br><br>Hello everyone,<br>

<br>
Many of you were wondering if Google Summer of Code 2010 is on for<br>
2010 and the answer is yes! We will begin accepting application from<br>
would-be mentoring organizations beginning March 8th at approximately<br>
19:00 UTC, with applications closing on March 12th at 23:00 UTC.<br>
Students can apply between 19:00 UTC on March 29th to 19:00 UTC on<br>
April 9th.<br>
<br>
We will be updating the program website [0], including the FAQs [1],<br>
over the next few days. Not much is going to change except the<br>
timeline, though there are a few FAQs that will be added. If you have<br>
any questions in the interim please do send them to the list. Please<br>
note that questions about which project you should select, etc., will<br>
likely be responded to with "depends on your skill set," so please<br>
take the time to do some research [2] about which project is right for<br>
you.<br>
<br>
While mentoring organizations for 2010 will be announced until March<br>
18th, a great number of the projects that have participated in the<br>
past [3] will return once again in 2010. Of course, that's not a<br>
guarantee and we cannot accept every great project that applies. But<br>
if you want to get a jump start on your participation in GSoC 2010,<br>
considering lurking in the IRC channel of a past participating project<br>
and seeing what useful things you can learn about their code base and<br>
community. Check out project forums to see if it's a place you'd like<br>
to spend your time.<br>
<br>
I'll be sending a follow up message in a few minutes about what to<br>
expect in the next few days/weeks and how you can help Google Summer<br>
of Code 2010.<br>
<br>
Google Summer of Code 2010 is on! Celebrate!<br>
