 * We've applied with Google to take part in the Summer of Code 2007. Our two current admins are SteveMcIntyre and StefanoZacchiroli. If last year is anything to go by, we'll probably add more admins later once the programme is up and running. This year all students finished their projects. All information including what each of them did can be found at:

 * Now it's time to create a repository of proposals for the summer of code. To do so: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/10/msg00001.html
Line 13: Line 13:
  1. please add an entry to the list below with a '''brief''' summary of the proposal (one-liner ideally) See also next year's program : SummerOfCode2008
Line 15: Line 15:
  2. add to the entry a link pointint to a '''subpage of this page''' with a more detailed description of the proposal. For creating the new page you can start from the SummerOfCode2007/ProposalTemplate page; look for it in the left column when creating the new page == Current Status (2007-04-12) ==
Line 17: Line 17:
 '''A note about last-year proposals'''. Down in this page you can found the proposal from the last year. If you're still interested in proposing one of them, please move it to the list of ''''this'''' year proposal, better filling the relative subpage. This way we will avoid proposals remaining here just for inertia on which no one is really interested to take part.  * We've been accepted to take part in the Summer of Code 2007. Our admins are SteveMcIntyre, StefanoZacchiroli, AnthonyTowns, LukClaes and ErichSchubert.

For students, if you have questions or want to discuss the project you want to
do you can mail the admins, discuss it in the debian-project mailing list, or
join the #debian-soc channel on irc.debian.org.		 Now that we're getting into the process, we're using a mailing list to
organise things. Details are at

mentors should already be signed up, and students will be added when
project decisions have been made (if they're not already subscribed by
then).

Mailing list

Now that we're getting into the process, we're using a mailing list to organise things. Details are at http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/soc-coordination . All mentors should already be signed up, and students will be added when project decisions have been made (if they're not already subscribed by then).

Infrastructure Provided to Students

As development must happen in the open, students of Debian projects will either receive access to existing source control repositories or setup an Alioth project. Alioth is a ?SourceForge like resource provided by Debian with access to Subversion/Arch/CVS repositories and services like bug tracking and mailing lists. The students are also expected to maintain a webpage or a wiki page to keep everyone up to date on their status.
