&os; is pleased to have been accepted as a participating + organization in Google's Summer of Code 2014. This will be the + tenth time we have participated in the program, having been + selected to participate every year since its introduction.

+ +

This year, the administrators made a special attempt to spread + the word about Summer of Code around Universities, including + making contact with around 350 mainly Polish, British, African + and American universities to advertise the Summer of Code + program, with a particular focus on &os;'s participation. We + made contact with both technical departments and student + societies. Posters were produced in several languages, and &os; + committers and users were encouraged to distribute these posters + around their local universities.

+ +

&os; received a total of 39 proposals from students, and were + subsequently granted 15 slots from Google. We are now facing + the unpleasant challenge of trying to decide which of the 39 + proposals to select, taking into account the quality, + desirability and feasibility of each proposal, as well as + ensuring we will be able to provide an excellent mentoring + experience to each selected student. All mentors have + volunteered to mentor, and we pair students with mentors + primarily based on the prospective mentor's areas of expertise, + interest in the project, also taking into account the desire to + pair students up with mentors in similar timezones in order to + improve the student experience. The final list of accepted + students is expected to be announced on the 21st April.
