== Reminder: Google Summer of Code 2011 == | |||
We would like to remind all readers that the FlightGear project is planning to participate in Google's Summer of Code 2011. | |||
However, doing that really requires a fair amount of work, planning and organizing. This is not something that can be done by a single person. | |||
It really needs a coordinated team effort, or otherwise FlightGear won't be able to apply/participate at all. | |||
So all users are invited to help us progress further with our preparations for GSoC 2011. | |||
Some easy ways for helping right now would be: | |||
* suggest new project ideas (i.e. get in touch using the forums, mailing lists or the wiki) | |||
* browse the forums or mailing list archives and look for suitable candidate projects | |||
* help refine and improve existing project proposals | |||
* help finalize the application template that we are preparing | |||
* help us find suitable students who might be interested in participating in 2011 | |||
* help us find mentors | |||
* summarize all related discussions, and document them here in the wiki | |||
At the moment, we are collecting ideas for answering the various questions in the application: [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=8857 Why should FlightGear participate in GSoC?] | |||
If you have any questions or other feedback related to GSoC, please use the forum to get in touch: http://flightgear.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=38 | |||
