If would still like to make an application proposal on this topic, there are a few things to do . First, you need to join the centos-devel mailing list and catch up on the discussion that is happening in the next 24 hours about this project idea. The mentor for this project has been heads-down working on CentOS 7 updates for the last few weeks, but I've asked him to respond to any questions on centos-devel within the next day. Second, if you wish to make an application, the initial proposal is due 27 March at 19:00 UTC. After that deadline you will have a few weeks to work with all the mentors to improve your application. But the initial application /must/ be in by that deadline. Third, read through this and make sure you are up-to-date on how to appl y: http://wiki.centos.org/GSoC/HowToApply#students Regards, - - Karsten - -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade .^\ CentOS Doer of Stuff http://TheOpenSourceWay.org \ http://community.redhat.com @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v' gpg: AD0E0C41 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlUQpAYACgkQ2ZIOBq0ODEHbPACgmO6eCOuACF3ePhRmxAWsbjy0 TeQAnizo3WqFKN+kBvCW1gC5gIhagNpt =r6sw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
