[linux-audio-dev] Google summer coding

[Kevin Sookocheff]

Hi,

        I'm looking for a mentor for Google's summer coding project for 
students.  In a nut-shell, a student pairs with a mentor from an established 
open source project in order to complete a modestly sized project.  The 
benefits to open source developers are that you get to have someone work on 
some code or functionality that otherwise might have been dismissed for a 
while.  Furthermore, you will gain a developer with a long term interest in 
Linux audio to contribute to development further down the road.  Of course, 
there are benefits to myself, including money (which students always need), 
but I am really looking to get established with some open source software and 
gain experience with the development process before I consider moving into 
the workforce (unless I stay on to do my PhD ;) and this seems like the 
perfect motivation.

        If anyone here is interested in taking this on, please check 
http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html and specifically the mentoring 
organization FAQ at http://code.google.com/mentfaq.html.  There is some 
misinformation about the need for more mentoring organisations but I've been 
in contact and they are still accepting groups.

Thank you for your time,
Kevin Sookocheff
