- Is GSoC something we want to participate in?
I have not found a reason not to so far, as long as there are people volunteering to be mentors. If there is a catch that I am missing I hope somebody else can point it out.
The catch is that it advertises the tax-dodger Google far more than the available funding merits. (Google claimed it makes a loss in the UK, mainly by making UK sales from Ireland, and is "obliged" to exploit our weak tax laws -- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20288077 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/9460950/Google-pays-just-6m-UK-... ) I don't want to participate in it, but as long as it doesn't increase Google use, I don't mind if others reach a different conclusion and do.
