[ANN] Google Summer of Code is Open to all Students!

[Dave Cottlehuber]

Hi everybody,

The Apache Software Foundation is participating in GSoC again this
year, and CouchDB is on the project list of course!

By the end of the summer, we hope you've above all, had fun, and we've
enabled you to make a valued contribution, and ideally help you
continue in your involvement with the CouchDB project.

## I'm a student, how do I start?

Check out some of the ideas at http://s.apache.org/couchdb_gsoc2013 or
suggest your own ones. Please subscribe to our developers mailing list
mailto:d...@couchdb.apache.org http://couchdb.apache.org/#mailing-list
and join us at #couchdb-dev on irc://irc.freenode.net/couchdb-dev to
talk about what you're interested in.

You'll need to pick your projects and submit proposals from 22nd April
to 3rd May.

## I'm interested in being a mentor for the CouchDB project!

Thanks! Please read up on
http://community.apache.org/guide-to-being-a-mentor.html and contact
dch@ for more details. Previous mentors suggest the effort is around
5h per week on average. Please review the topics list and feel free to
make any adjustments.

Please pass this on to your local user groups, universities, etc. Thanks!
