We received more than 25 proposals for this year’s Google Summer of Codehttp://techblog.wikimedia.org/2011/03/projects-students-mentors-wanted-gsoc/, and several mentors put many hours into evaluating project ideas, discussing them with applicants, and making the tough decisions. Our final choices, the Google Summer of Code students for MediaWiki for 2011:
- Akshay Agarwalhttps://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/User:Akshay.agarwal‘s “Account Creation, Login Screens and AJAX-ification of everything” (mentor: Brandon Harris) - Kevin Brown’s “Working Archival for Web References/Citations,” “to facilitate the archival of external links used as references in the English Wikipedia” (mentor: Neil Kandalgaonkar) - Devayon Dashttps://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/User:Devayon‘s “Improving Semantic Search/Semantic Query usability issues in SMW” (mentor: Markus Krötzsch) - Ankit Garghttps://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/User:Ankitgarg‘s “Semantic Schemas extension” (mentor: Yaron Koren) - Salvatore Ingalahttps://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/User:Salvatore_Ingala‘s “AMICUS: Awesome Monolithic Infrastructure for Customization of User Scripts” (mentors: Brion Vibber and Max Semenik) - Aigerim Karabekovahttps://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/User:Aigerim‘s “Extension Release Management” (mentors: Sam Reed, Priyanka Dhanda, and Chad Horohoe) - Yuvi Pandahttps://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/User:Yuvipanda‘s “Making Offline Wikipedia Article Selection Easier with Mediawiki Extensions” (mentor: Arthur Richards) - Zhenya Vlasyenko http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Zhenya‘s “MediaWiki Extension: SocialProfile – UserStatus feature” (mentor: Jack Phoenix)
You’ll be hearing more about each of these projects in the next few weeks!
Congratulations to this year’s students, and thanks to all the applicants, as well as MediaWiki’s many mentors, developers who evaluated applications, and Google’s Open Source Programs Officehttp://google-opensource.blogspot.com/. The accepted students now have a month to ramp up on MediaWiki’s processes and get to know their mentors (the Community Bonding Periodhttp://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/timeline) and will start coding their summer projects on or before May 23rd. As organizational administrator for MediaWiki’s GSoC participation, I’ll be keeping an eye on all eight students and helping them out.
Good luck!

Hi,
That's a great news to hear. But it would be wonderful if any Bangladeshi Student could get selected for media wiki. AFAIK this year 3 Bangladeshi Students have been selected in Google Summer of Code (aka GSoC). One in Apertium, one in Blender and another one in FFmpeg. I also participated in GSoC in 2010 for Chromium along with two others in Apertium and Yafaray. This year before the selection process we arranged a info session about GSoC in BUET and around 40 students joined the session. We hope to arrange it again before the program in 2012, the next years program. Hopefully we'll able to motivate students more to apply for Media Wiki or orgs related to Wikipedia that time.
