Re: [Gretl-devel] arch as summer of code project?

There must be a list of projects with descriptions and mentors with
gsoc accounts for each of them.The projects and their descriptions
from last year are, I think, still available at gretl wiki. There has
to be someone overseeing the whole thing and he makes the formal
application by filling out some forms. I can send and odt file (which
hopefully is not lost) that has most of the info that I entered last
year. This probably also has the mentor account names for Allin, Jack,
me etc, which I don't think has expired. Overall, I think it should
not be too difficult to reapply with the exact same projects, under
new management :-)

Ok thanks for the information. I looked at the SoC FAQ and I now have
the impression that it's quite "organization-centric" as opposed to
"project-centric". So I don't think it will make much sense to pitch
this Arch thing. They want a pool of ideas (which you provided last
year), and I think just applying again with a basically unchanged ideas
pool is not going to work. I think a viable plan could be to embed the
SoC application (next year) in the "big gretl release" thing. Then there
would almost automatically be a large pool of ideas. It could also be
combined with the next gretl conference. However, that goes against
Jack's timeline since that would mean to wait one and a half years. (And
I also think that would be too late.)
thanks,
