We're planning to apply for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) again. GSoC is a program by Google to bring student developers into Open Source projects. tl;dr: Google pays students for 3 months in summer developing software for an open source project. Therefore we need to collect ideas for possible projects. People from the projects will act as mentors for students. If you want to know more about that, please visit https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ Freifunk acts as umbrella organization since 2008 for several projects like OpenWRT, ninux, qaul.net, guifi.net, retroshare, wlan slowenija, altermundi.net, ... To apply as organization we need a list of project ideas, we collect at https://projects.freifunk.net. Now it's the best time to update or add ideas. This can be done via github: https://github.com/freifunk/projects.freifunk.net-contents The application period will start on January 14. The best case would be if you add your ideas until this deadline :) You can find the complete timeline at https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/how-it-works/#timeline If you know people within your community that would be interested in mentoring projects, feel free to distribute this email. Also, if you know students that would be interested in doing projects for one of our organizations, please tell them! If you have any questions, just send me an email! Best regards, Andi
