Summer of Code 2007
?TableOfContents(2)
This wiki page is created to make it easier to plan and coordinate Debian's involvement in the [http://code.google.com/soc/ Google Summer of Code 2007].
Current Status (2007-04-12)
We've been accepted to take part in the Summer of Code 2007. Our admins are SteveMcIntyre, StefanoZacchiroli, AnthonyTowns, LukClaes and ErichSchubert.
- We received over 100 student applications that were reviewed by the
mentors. We asked google to aprove up to 20 projects for us, but we got only 9: http://code.google.com/soc/debian/about.html
The rest of the ideas and comments were stored and might be used in the future for improving Debian. (SummerOfCode2007IdeasList)
Timeline
see [http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=60325 Timeline in Google's FAQ]
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.
