And the 2007 Summer of Code Mentor Summit Drupal delegates are...

For the second year in a row, Google is putting on a Summer of Code Mentor Summit at their Mountainview Campus on Oct. 6, to allow all the projects to come together and share success stories, advice, lessons learned, and brainstorm about how to make the project better. Each project gets to send up to 3 delegates to the summit.

Here's the list of Drupal folks who will be attending:

  1. Rok Žlender, who was a successful SoC student turned successful SoC mentor, as well as just an awesome guy all around. :) Google loves getting to meet the faces behind their success stories. :)
  2. Ruben D. Canlas Jr., who is a Drupal SoC veteran, and has offered testing and useful advice to several students in the SoC-2007 group.
  3. Simon Hobbs, who is a SoC first-timer whose student couldn't say enough nice things about him, and who was very active both in #drupal-soc and in the SoC-2007 group providing advice.

Congratulations, folks! I'll be e-mailing you with the next steps. :)

Mentoring the project.module related proposals

If all goes well, there will be 3 active SoC projects related to the project.module:

  1. Gabor on translation tools
  2. Drewish on quality metrics
  3. jpetso on RCS abstraction

Obviously, I'll be closely involved in all 3, but I don't think I can be the primary mentor for each one.

SoC 2007 is on!

Google has just announced that Summer of Code 2007 is officially on! The timeline for the program is drastically different than either of the previous two years'... Students will know they're accepted on April 9, although the program doesn't formally start until May 28. The goal is to allow students plenty of time to integrate into their respective open source communities. Sounds like a really great change.

Here's a list of stuff we need to do in the next couple months:
