(We're applying by this Friday, so sooner the better.) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_ideas_for_2012 An idea can be e.g. getting tools packaged, dealing with dependencies, pushing patches to the upstream, and tying it all together neatly for the spin. If it's a large workload for one student over the summer, split it up in to two or more ideas. You don't have to be an expert in the technologies involved, you just have to be good at connecting your student to people and resources to get things done. You might be able to find a co-mentor who has the knowledge to create your ideas but doesn't have the time, so can have the students get things moving along or completed. If Fedora gets a GSoC slot, then any energy you put in before the student proposal deadline to publicizing the ideas (e.g. to Stanford students ;D ) increases the quantity and quality of student applications.
