Hey all, The application period for GSoC is once again upon us (it actually launched while I was out on vacation last week). I wanted to extend this call to anyone who might be interested in mentoring a student over the summer months in a project for Ceph development. For those of you who are not familiar with the GSoC program, you can check out the newly redesigned site: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/. The gist of it is Google offers a stipend to both the student and the mentoring org to produce Open Source code and for the students to learn about, and get used to working with, the Open Source community. Ceph has been a mentoring org for the last couple of years, and always donate our mentor org stipend to the Software Freedom Conservancy. While previous years have seen primarily core developers (Inktank/Red Hat) as mentors, this year I would like to open it up to any Ceph developer that would like to propose a project and mentor the student. If you are interested in submitting a project to mentor, you can do so via email to me **before 5p EST this Thursday 18 Feb**. For a guideline of previous projects and mentors you can take a look at last years submission page: http://ceph.com/gsoc2015/ If you have any questions, please let me know and hopefully we’ll have another great year with Ceph and Google Summer of Code. Thanks! -- Best Regards, Patrick McGarry Director Ceph Community || Red Hat http://ceph.com || http://community.redhat.com @scuttlemonkey || @ceph -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
