> Many of you were wondering if Google Summer of Code 2010 is on for
> 2010 and the answer is yes! We will begin accepting application from
> would-be mentoring organizations beginning March 8th at approximately
> 19:00 UTC, with applications closing on March 12th at 23:00 UTC.
> Students can apply between 19:00 UTC on March 29th to 19:00 UTC on
> April 9th.

> We will be updating the program website [0], including the FAQs [1],
> over the next few days. Not much is going to change except the
> timeline, though there are a few FAQs that will be added. If you have
> any questions in the interim please do send them to the list. Please
> note that questions about which project you should select, etc., will
> likely be responded to with "depends on your skill set," so please
> take the time to do some research [2] about which project is right for
> you.

> While mentoring organizations for 2010 will be announced until March
> 18th, a great number of the projects that have participated in the
> past [3] will return once again in 2010. Of course, that's not a
> guarantee and we cannot accept every great project that applies. But
> if you want to get a jump start on your participation in GSoC 2010,
> considering lurking in the IRC channel of a past participating project
> and seeing what useful things you can learn about their code base and
> community. Check out project forums to see if it's a place you'd like
> to spend your time.

> I'll be sending a follow up message in a few minutes about what to
> expect in the next few days/weeks and how you can help Google Summer
> of Code 2010.

> Google Summer of Code 2010 is on! Celebrate!
