Debian has been selected as a mentor organization for the Google Summer of Code 2010.

Whether your are a Debian Developer or a Student, this might be a good time to:

  • add and review project ideas and personal proposals on the Ideas page
  • come join us on IRC (#debian-soc on irc.debian.org) and on our mailing list to talk about your ideas and applications

Remember that the sooner we get project ideas and personal proposals, the longer we can work on them to make them into great summer projects!

You can read more about the Google Summer of Code in their website. Also, if you are interested in participating, it is very important checking the program time line.
