Over the next 48 hours I'm going to be pulling together our CentOS Google Summer of Code application.
Our shortfall last year was i) number of ideas, and ii) mentors associated with ideas.
We can always adjust ii) as we go, but we really need a nice, wide pool of ideas.
Here is what our application and ideas looked like last year:

I'll be reaching out to SIG members/leaders directly to work on ideas.
Ideally we have something more like 20 ideas with good starting details.
Just a heads up -- several times in the past the GSoC organizers have put Fedora Project and JBoss Community together due to a relationship with Red Hat. While I've argued against that practice (totally unrelated projects, etc.), I do understand the organizers' rationale - -- they have a limited number of slots (budget.) Thus I'm preparing for that possibility and talking with the Fedora Project organizers[1].

[1] tl;dnr here is that especially with the SIGs work, ideas for EPEL, similar tooling, etc. there are a lot of efforts that can benefit both projects. Especially since Fedora already has the mentoring culture, this could be a great way for the CentOS Project to learn how to do a GSoC without as much associated pain. - -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade .^\ CentOS Doer of Stuff http://TheOpenSourceWay.org \ http://community.redhat.com @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v' gpg: AD0E0C41
