Hi,

we have been selected by Google for this year's Summer of Code. Many thanks to them, we're appreciating this greatly. 

Now it is our task to make the most out of this opportunity, both for our projects and the students who will be applying for them.


Administrators & Mentors:

- sign up at http://socghop.appspot.com and
- check your notifications and/or
- apply to become a mentor

Also, please check if the projects you'd like to mentor are listed at http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/SummerOfCode2009ideas, and make sure that their descriptions are useful.

I'd like you to be around on IRC and the mailing lists as much a possible in the next few days, because you're the best sources of information for students who are interested in our projects. If you've already got candidates, please make sure that they check the program FAQ for  - http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/program/google/gsoc2009/faqs, especially the parts about eligibility: http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/program/google/gsoc2009/faqs#age_limits


Students:

Use these places to introduce yourself (briefly), and start to discuss the projects you'd like to - either one of our suggestions, or your own ideas. 


Regards,
Michael
