==Join In==
=== Mentors ===
The preliminary [[Summer of Code/Mentors | Mentors]]' application page is now up.
=== Students ===
Student applications open on March 23rd. In the meantime, look at the list of [[Development Team/Project Ideas | project ideas]] or propose your own. Bring your proposals to the community, developers, and potential mentors for feedback on [[Sugar_Labs/Contacts | the mailing list]] or [[IRC]].
=== Supporters ===
We're currently in the "get ideas" phase; please see [[Development Team/Project Ideas]] for a list of potential projects, and add your own. (There are some [[Marketing Team/Events/Sugarcamp_Boston_2008/Minutes#Items_from_the_roadmap_brainstorm|more project ideas]] from a brainstorming session at Sugar Camp that should be ported over; let [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] know if you'd like to help with this.)
We would welcome help coordinating the overall effort as well; please contact [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] if you'd like to get involved with this. We are currently working on the [[/SL application]] to Google.
== Community-building ideas ==
The mentoring org application includes the following questions:
# What steps will you take to encourage students to interact with your project's community before, during and after the program?
# What will you do to ensure that your accepted students stick with the project after GSoC concludes?
This is a place for brainstorming these issues.
[11:59] <mchua> homunq: we also need a general plan for how we're going to use this as a good community building tool for new developers, though that's a little vague
[11:59] <mchua> homunq: stuff like "would a weekly check-in email be a good idea?" "do we require mentor meetings on IRC?" "are students mandated to blog about their work?"
