Message-ID: Hi all, The email below was posted on the Koha developers [koha-devel] e-list but might be of interest to some of you. It gives a wider view of the options of Koha's development. As Galen explains, "If Koha were to apply, we would be expected to provide the following: - a list of project ideas that would be beneficial to Koha and educational for the students - mentors willing to devote a fair amount of time between June and September guiding students through their projects - an "organization admin" or two to help the mentors and students How could Koha be enhanced? Might you have project ideas we could pass on to the developers?

To: "koha-devel at lists.koha-community.org" < koha-devel at lists.koha-community.org> Hi, Following up on some discussion on #koha, I'd like to raise the question of whether we want to consider putting in an application for the Google Summer of Code [1] this year. What's GSoC? Very briefly, it's effectively an internship program where Google will pay college and university students to work on F/OSS projects. One of the overall goals is to help educate students, both in the technical matters of contributing software to a real project and the social matters of interacting productively with an open source community. Ideally, a GSoC student would end their experience ready and willing to continue to participate in F/OSS projects. Secondarily, we may get some cool and useful code to add to Koha. If Koha were to apply, we would be expected to provide the following: - a list of project ideas that would be beneficial to Koha and educational for the students - mentors willing to devote a fair amount of time between June and September guiding students through their projects - an "organization admin" or two to help the mentors and students Being a mentor is a serious commitment. The ideal mentor would be an active developer, familiar with the codebase and expert in at least some of it, willing to teach, willing to help make sure that student participates openly in the community, and able to devote a fair amount of time to work with his or her student during the summer. I encourage folks to read the GSoC document carefully, then answer the following questions: - Is GSoC something we want to participate in? - If so, are there enough folks willing and able to act as mentors?
