Fwd: [GSoC] Call for students

[Mariano Martinez Peck]

Vamos muchachos!!   Dado que estoy "invirtiendo" tiempo en este GSoC me encantaria poder ver alumnos argentinos.

Ya se que los que lo hacen no lo hacen por la plata, y los que lo quieran hacer por la plata, absténganse....pero son 5000 USD para el alumno....convertido en $    :)

Saludos

Mariano

Dear Students,

Now it is your turn! You will have to register in our website, put there
some information, show interest for the projects and contact the project
mentors. After the registration step you will get all the mentors
information in order to contact them. By pressing the button on the
project, you will show your interest. This is not something formal yet.

Our mentors will vote for the most interesting projects and in the
middle of the voting Google will tell us, how many projects will
actually be funded. Voting will happen in April, with final results
expected at the end of April. At that time you will finally know if you
are accepted or not.

Of course, there can be many students interested per project. This means
that interest for this project is high, but on the other side a chance
that you will be chosen is lower.  It is up to you to convince a mentor
that you are the best!

Note also that the Ideas page is deprecated. On ideas page just the
project ideas were collected. Now, we are preparing the real projects.
So, please from now on always refer to this link for the projects:

       http://gsoc2010.esug.org/projects

So, the initial steps are:

   1. Register on our special Smalltalk GSoC website:

          http://gsoc2010.esug.org/registration

   2. Edit your profile to get some more contact information for
      mentors to let you know,
   3. Fulfill your brief Biography page (see Biography tab on profile),
   4. Go to Projects page, choose up to three projects and click there
      I'm interested button,
   5. Contact and discuss with project mentors about your interest.

You will be also subscribed to a special mailing list [1] where we will
help you with further steps.

Deadline: as soon as possible, because the deadline to register on
official GSoC website [2] is 9.April, which is, well, soon! But about
that later...

Finally, we will really appreciate if you can help us to distribute this
call for students. One of our goals is to increase the Smalltalk
community. Those who have access to universities can distribute this
among the students.

Cualquiera puede inscribirse?, osea, por mas que seas menor y estes
cursando el secundario?

[Mariano Martinez Peck]

Hola. Gracias por preguntar. No, tenes que ser mayor de 18 años:

Lo que si, por ser estudiante se puede contemplar carrera de grado, phd, master, etc.

En la UTN FRBA (regional Buenos Aires) lo vemos...

[Mariano Martinez Peck]

Creo que no los entendí. No tiene nada que ver si en la facultad enseñan o no Smalltalk. Para lo que es el GSoC alcanza con que sean estudiantes.

Saludos

Hola Blas,

No te sientas discriminado, seguramente se trata de alguna disposición
legal, o simplemente quienes lo acordaron no tuvieron en cuenta un caso
como el tuyo.
Algo similar sucede con las limitaciones de edad para acceder a las
becas para estudios de postgrado, las mismas están limitadas hasta
cierta edad, como si alguien con mayor edad no pudiera cumplir con los
requisitos académicos correspondientes.

Sin embargo, en tu caso tenés una ventaja, simplemente vas a tener que
esperar un poco, nomás...

Un afectuoso saludo,

Francisco
