Google Summer of Code '09

[billy]

Do you guys have any plans in participating this year? I've recently
got into python, and am very interested in pylons as a web framework
so I thought it wouldn't hurt to see if you guys have any intentions
on participating so maybe I can get in on a piece of the action :).

Pylons has submitted an application to GSoC '09, so we hope to be
involved.

I've created a page on the wiki to list out ideas for projects:

http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/pylonscookbook/Google+Summer+of+Code

If anyone has ideas, please feel free to contribute to this page. You
simply need to signup for a login on the wiki to edit the page.

I encourage folks to list ideas -- and to review them as a group.

My experience with GSoC is that you get much more and better proposals
if you have a good list of project ideas.

Also if anyone is interested in mentoring, please add your name to the
list. I'm guessing the more potential mentors we have listed, the
better our chances of acceptance.

Unfortunately our application was rejected. Rumor has it Google would
be more picky with applicants this year, due to a reduced budget.
There's some details about that here:

However there's still a chance for us to get some SoC action if we
have some compelling students/projects -- possibly under the PSF org,
or another remote possibly -- some kind of collaboration with the
TurboGears org (depending on the project idea).
