Summer of Code/SL application (view source)
Revision as of 17:38, 11 March 2009
, 17:38, 11 March 2009→Did your organization participate in past GSoCs? If so, please summarize your involvement and the successes and challenges of your participation.
As Sugar Labs only officially became a member project of the SFC in June 2008, as an organization we have not been around long enough to have participated in past GSoCs. However, we have many community members with prior GSoC experience (former mentors, students, and organization administrators from multiple open-source projects, more details available upon request) who have offered their help specifically to make our first GSoC summer a success.

Although completely independent, we are in friendly communication with OLPC, which handled many Sugar-related GSoC applications last year, and which is applying to GSoC again this year. We will be clear of the distinction: anything related to the XS school server, or to specific hardware issues on the XO laptops, is under OLPC, while all other sugar-related issues are in Sugarlabs. Nevertheless, we expect some amount of confusion from students, and both organizations are prepared to help direct any students who apply in the wrong place.
