[microblaze-uclinux] Re: [microblaze-uclinux] MicroBlaze-Linux project for Google Summer of Code ?

[Michal Simek <Monstr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Navanee,

can you correct me? I quickly read web on google. 

Is the project name "MicroBlaze-Linux project"?

If you have project you have idea what is necessary to do. What?

You wrote this email - this mean you are Mentor of this project. Am I right?

This project will be made in US. (Y/N)
Who will be paid cost living and flight tickets for internation students?

I think that you have limit of students per your project. What is your limit?
How many students have you registered?

Regards,
Michal





Hi all,


If there is enough interest, it might be great to submit some
MicroBlaze-Linux project ideas for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) -
http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html.

 

Key details of GSoC: 

            - Google provides stipend of $5000 USD to as many as 1000
students for working on open source software projects for a 3-4 month
period over summer 2008.

            - Open source "organizations" or "groups" (like this
MicroBlaze linux community) can submit project ideas and sign up to be
mentor organizations.
http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_mentoring_orgs.

            - Google will select around 100-150 Mentor organizations for
the GSoC 2008 program. For example GEDA got selected last year -
http://geda.seul.org/wiki/gsoc2008. 

            - Students get paired with mentors from the open source
project and they work on the project for about 3-4 months, under the
guidance of the mentor. 

            - Google pays the student(s) for writing code for the
project in 2-3 chunks based on progress and a nominal amount to the
mentors for administrative work performed.

 

Only problem is that the deadline is March 12th noon US Pacific time -
http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_timeline - 13 hours from
now. :-(

 

But if there is enough interest, this could be done next year as well -
good for the community (more developers), good for the students
potentially involved -
