Hi, <https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2015> states that by 13Apr "Mentoring organizations should have requested slots via their profile in Melange by this point. " This would mean that a long list of possible proposals and a short list of "we must have these students for our organization" proposals need to exist. Looking over the submissions, it would seem that a possible long list would include (in no particular order): + A Single installer ISO that delivers a functional Xen4 stack on CentOS 6 Gautam has participated in a couple of discussions and responded to mentor's (George) queries + Implement and create new documentation toolchain Both Lei Yang and Kunal have provided well thought out proposals and have responded to mentor feedback + Develop a kpatch delivery mechanism Vladislav and Louis have been involved in conversations and responded to questions from mentor + RootFS Build Factory for CentOS Mandar has worked on the proposal and seems to have put in effort to create a good scope + On Premise Vagrant Boxes Hosting System I would defer to the mentor about whether this proposal is well scoped and ready + Cloud in a box There is a proposal from Asad which has been reviewed by Rich as well scoped. Comments, feedback would be appreciated. Karsten, do you have an estimate of the number of slots to request? /sankarshan -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <https://about.me/sankarshan.mukhopadhyay>
