General information
This wiki page will be the central point for information about the Google Summer of Code 2010 at Debian. Feel free to add missing sections to it.
You can find information about the previous years on SummerOfCode2006, SummerOfCode2007, SummerOfCode2008 and SummerOfCode2009.
Introduction
The Google Summer of Code is a program where Google pays students stipends to work over the summer on free software projects such as Debian. Each student works with one or more mentors from the community to complete a software project.
The Google Summer of Code has started again this year. If we are selected as a mentoring organisation, 2010 will be the fifth participation of Debian in the program and we want to again improve on our participation to make the experience even more exciting and fulfilling this year for the students, the mentors and the whole Debian community.

I am a student
You have until April 9, 12 noon PDT / 19:00 UTC to contact us and to apply on the Google Summer of Code application.
Familiarize yourself with the communication tools of Debian:
IRC on general or team development channels
the general and particular Mailing-lists of various teams
this wiki
Join the communication channels of the teams or persons involved with the subject you would like to work on and discuss it. Don't be afraid to suggest seemingly crazy or vague ideas, we'll help you and give you suggestions. If you're lost (or even not!), drop in the communication channels of the Summer of Code team mentioned below. Remember that early preparation is a guarantee that your proposal will be better!
There is some interesting introductory documentation on this wiki about what Debian is and what Debian is for a developer. A lot of information about being a Summer of Code student can be found on the Advice for students page.
We also have a template that we would recommend students to use for their application: application template
I am a Debian developer
Your help is much needed from general organization to individual mentoring. Come see us on IRC or on the mailing-list mentioned below.
This year, we want to improve the communication between Summer of Code projects and the whole Debian community during the whole Summer of Code program, from student/project selection to final code integration into production through testing and feedback.
A lot of information can be found on the Advice for mentors page. A practical mentoring guide can be found here.
Contacting us : Mailing-list, IRC, Twitter and identi.ca
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/soc-coordination
We're also on IRC: #debian-soc in the OFTC network (irc.debian.org). Just drop in and ask your questions. Of course you can also ask in other Debian IRC channels.
