Hello,

>>> GSoC Students Application Period Starts Today <<<
Please forward to anyone who might be interested.

Today, March 10th, the student application period for
Google Summer of Code[1] opens (well, it opened a few hours ago, at 19:00
UTC).
The application period ends on March 21st.

Mercurial is taking part to Google Summer of Code under
the Python Software Foundation; so students interested in
contributing to Mercurial should apply to the PSF
for the Mercurial "sub-org".

Candidate students have until March 21st, 19:00 UTC, to
register at http://www.google-melange.com, and formulate a proposal;
either they can choose among the items at
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/SummerOfCode/Ideas2014
or propose their own.

Students' proposals should follow the template at
https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/ApplicationTemplate2014

A good reading on how to formulate a good one is
http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCStudentGuide/ch008_writing-a-proposal/

Please note that:
* As part of a successfull application, students are required to
  send a patch to Mercural, see
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/SummerOfCode/2014
* Accepted students will be require to blog once every 2 weeks
  about their project, to attend a weekly meeting on IRC,
  and in general to work tightly with their mentor or with the
  experts in their project area.

We invite interested students to introduce themselves here
on the mailing list and to take contact with the mentors on IRC:
Kevin Bulloc (TheMystic on IRC), Brodie Rao (brodie) and Giovanni
Gherdovich (ggherdov).
Our channel is #mercurial on freenode, see
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/IRC

Cheers,
GGhh
