Dear Osmocom community,
starting from 16th of January (until 7th of February) we can apply Google Summer of Code as an Open source mentor organization. Many well-known projects, such as Debian, FFmpeg, Apache, Git, GCC, GNURadio and others, have been participating last year.
Personally, I think it's a great opportunity to move some of our projects forward. I would like to know your opinions about this idea, should we participate? I would be happy to be a mentor.
With best regards, Vadim Yanitskiy.

I think we had a GSoC trainee once. What does it take to participate? Maybe you can simply organise this?

I'm not so sure about quality forward pushing coming from GSoC. But why not.

Thanks. It's something that I've been pondering several times in the past, too. I know Holger did it once for Osmocom in the past, AFAIR, and in netfilter (where I was involved before) we also participated in GSoC.
The results were - as any results from new developers - mixed. But I think it's a good opportunity to get new people involved in the project.

I think it's a good idea and I'd support it. I just know that given the many projects I'm already way too late with and overloaded, I will not be able to personally mentor a GSoC student.
So I'm happy to help with formailtiies, etc. - but that's about it, sorry.
Hi all,
since we have seen more neutral and positive opinions than negative ones, we've tried to apply as a mentor organization. Unfortunately, our application has been rejected. Sadly, but not the end of the world ;)
Thanks for your feedback! ... and kudos to Harald!
With best regards, Vadim Yanitskiy.
