[Wikitech-l] Google Summer of Code 2014 starts NOW

Google Summer of Code 2014 has started. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014 (Thank you Raylton for creating this page) The first step is to apply as Wikimedia organization before February 14. I can do this, with your help: * We need another org admin ready to work. I was the primary org admin in GSoC 2013 and I'm also primary/only org admin in FOSS OPW and Facebook Oen Academy. Google Code-in was different, with Andre and me really sharing the org admin role. This brought better and more reliable program administration, plus useful knowledge shared by more people for future editions. Interested? Please reply. * We need to add proposals with mentors and community buy-in under the "Featured project ideas" section at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Featur… . Either you step in now, or you wait at least six months until the next call. Interested? Just edit the page. The sooner the better. PS: I will be offline on holidays next week. I will submit the Wikimedia application before leaving, almost week before the deadline. You will be able to keep improving our proposal by improving the related wiki pages. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [GSoC Mentors Announce] Now Accepting Applications for Mentoring Organizations for GSoC 2014 Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2014 11:01:15 -0800 From: Carol Smith <carols(a)google.com> Reply-To: gsoc-mentors-announce+owners(a)googlegroups.com To: GSoC Mentors Announce <gsoc-mentors-announce(a)googlegroups.com> Hi all, We're pleased to announce that applications for mentoring organizations for Google Summer of Code 2014 are now being accepted [1].
