== Searching for a coordinator ==
We had a great year. All 5 of our students were successful, and several of them made really important improvements to Sugar. Here's the results:
We are looking for a coordinator for SL's GSoC activities for summer 2001. Responsibilities include:
* Maintaining this wiki page for the summer 2010 GSoC season (Feb 2010 - Sep 2010)
* Coordinating SL's application to the GSoC program as a mentorship organization
* Recruiting mentors
* Recruiting applicants
* Selecting applicants
* Supervising mentors, which largely entails making sure mid-term and end-of-summer reports are handed in on time
* Interfacing with SLOBs to deal with collection and distribution of funds from Google
No prior experience coordinating mentorship programmes (or even doing development) is needed, though a track record of involvement with Sugar Labs spanning at least 3 months is required.
The [[Karma]] GSoC project has been a success. Participant Felipe Lopez Toledo set out to create a high-level library for creating interactive digital learning lessons using only openweb technologies. The result is the [http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/karma/repos/mainline/blobs/master/js/jquery.karma-0.3.js karma jQuery plugin] that provides high-level functions for manipulating image, audio, and internationalization.
If you are interested, please add your name to the list below '''before 23:59:59 UTC Feb 17, 2010.'''. The [[Oversight Board]] will contact interested parties individually to discuss the final selection of a coordinator.
