Hello everyone,


We are now accepting applications from open source projects interested
in participating as mentor organizations for Google Summer of Code
2016.


Visit our new website to apply as an organization today. For helpful
tips on what is expected as a mentor organization and as a mentor or
org admin for GSoC 2016 read the Mentor Manual.


One person from your Org must act as an Organization Administrator and
submit the application for your organization. The organization
application process consists of 3 parts:

Application -- answering straightforward questions about why your org
would like to mentor students in GSoC

Organization Profile -- details about your organization that will be
used to attract students to your organization (short and long
descriptions of your org, contact methods, etc.)

There must be at least 2 Organization Administrators per org. The Org
Admin who creates the application will need to invite another person
to be the 2nd Org Admin and that person will need to accept the
invitation in order for this requirement to be met.

Once these 3 sections are completed your application is done (you can
see your progression on the site with the % complete visual). You can
continue to edit your application until the deadline.


Deadline to submit your Organization Application: Friday, February 19
at 19:00 UTC. Be sure to look at the timeline for more important dates
for the program.


We will not accept late applications under any circumstances.


Good luck to all org applicants!


Best,

Stephanie Taylor

There's some material from our previous application attempts here if anyone is
interested:

Asumu, would you be interested in being a mentor?

I already told Leif off-list, but I'd be happy to mentor. Especially projects
involving Typed Racket, new libraries/tools, or for standalone applications.

To start some discussion, here are some random project ideas in no particular
order:

* Type-based auto-completion
* Memory profiler
* Video editing DSL (#lang nlve)
* Automatically generate typed wrappers from tests or contracts
* Improve DrRacket vim plugin
* TOTP two-factor auth library for Racket-based websites
* Command-line REPL debugger
* Pure Racket line editing for XREPL with paren-matching and
other goodies
* RRB-Trees built into the Racket VM as an alternative to immutable
vectors

Cheers,
Asumu
