The wonderful Vincent has already sent the initial call for participation, so who’s up for it then?
OK I’ll take it that there are several hands raised in the audience (I reckon I’m being overly cautious, I’m sure there are loads of hands up but as I don’t have my glasses on I can only see the first two rows). So what do we need from our lovely community to help make GSoC 2010 a success?
* We need some admins for openSUSE in GSoC 2010. This mainly involves making sure that we do everything we need to participate in GSoC; making sure students feel comfortable in the project, and push our contributors a bit to publish ideas and mentor students. Basically the GoTo contact points.
* We need people to maintain the GSoC 2010 wiki page. I have already started the GSoC 2010 page on the wiki, yes it is pretty much a copy/paste of last years but it gets the ball rolling 😉
* We need people to start thinking about ideas that students could work on. If you have a good idea, why not put it in openFATE and put it on the wiki too (with a link to the openFate entry)? That way we can utilise the voting feature of openFate and gauge how much the community would appreciate the student’s hard work.
So there’s nothing stopping you from joining in, so get to it! Oh and if you’re looking for a way to contribute to openSUSE but aren’t a coder this is a great way to get your feet wet with the community 🙂

What happened to this? I don’t see openSUSE on the list of accepted organizations for GSoC 2010. Was there any reason given by Google for excluding the project? Seems odd that a high-profile project like openSUSE wouldn’t be participating.
