Google released their Google Summer of Code 2015 presentation:

Overall web page:
https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/resources/presentations

PDF version of the slides:
https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/resources/downloads/GSoC_2...

I know one of the things I had talked about was putting together a talk for DrupalCamps and meetups that mentors could give about Drupal Summer of Code to get more involvement from the community.

Any thoughts on this one? I don't think Texas is having a DrupalCamp for a while.

Great idea!

Jeff, this is a great idea. We have students, mentors, and alumni in cities throughout the world. Do we have any volunteers to present? I can give it a try at a few events in my area.

Going back to the GCI student task idea...maybe a student can utilize Google's presentation and create a Drupal specific version as a task in Code-In 2014?

Google Code In Task - Definitely works

Also another task for students might be to localize the presentation into their language - I think that would also be really useful given the international nature of GSoC.

I'm happy to talk to the Drupal Austin meetup, if I can make a meeting.
