We've been accepted to participate in GSoC 2009. Hooray!
This means we have a lot of great work ahead of us. The first order of business is that everyone that wants to be a mentor needs to sign up at http://socghop.appspot.com. You'll need a Google account (which does not have to be a Gmail account). Click the link that says "Apply to become a Mentor" and proceed as instructed. You should also ensure that you're on the kde-soc-mentor mailing list.
Students: now that we're accepted, get to it with contacting mentors! The application period opens March 23rd and closes April 3rd, so it's not a huge amount of time to get all the details of your proposals worked out. Be sure to check the ideas page at http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Projects/Summer_of_Code/2009/Ideas, or contact the appropriate mentor if you have a different idea for a project that you'd like to work on.
I'll be sure to keep everyone informed of events as they occur and deadlines as they arrive. Here's to a successful summer!
