[asterisk-dev] GSoC 2010 - Calling for Project Ideas and Mentors

[Russell Bryant]

Greetings,

The period for organizations to apply for participation in the Google 
Summer of Code program for 2010 is next week.  That means that by the 
end of next week, we need to put together a couple of things:

1) I need to know who would be willing to mentor a student.  This is not 
an extremely large commitment.  You are there to provide some technical 
guidance, as well as general guidance for how to interact with the 
Asterisk development community.  If you have questions about being a 
mentor, there are a number of people on this list that have done this 
before and can provide feedback.  Feel free to also contact me directly 
on this topic.

2) We need a suggested projects list.  Historically, I think our project 
ideas have been a bit too big.  We need to aim for coming up with 
projects more concretely achievable in a summer for a college student 
not necessarily familiar with the Asterisk code base.  I think coming up 
with ideas for specific tests to implement is a really good area to 
think about.  Please post any project ideas that you have so that we can 
discuss them and get them on the list.

I will be gathering project ideas and saving them here:
