We are pleased to announce that haskell.org has been officially accepted as a mentoring organisation for this year's Summer of Code. Student applications are now open! http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ Students: want to earn $4500 for 3 months work hacking in Haskell? Go to our ideas page, browse around, and write up a proposal for something you would like to work on. You must be available to work basically full-time for the months of June to August (inclusive). Proposals are competitive against other students. Last year, nine were funded. Your deadline for application is 24th March. Anyone else: Got any good ideas for coding projects, but no time to work on them yourself? Go to our wiki and add it in to the database! Or do you feel you could be either a primary or backup mentor for a student project in an area of your interest, even if it isn't a project you defined yourself? We need willing members of the community to foster the new student talent, so sign up on the wiki's 'people' page if you would like to be involved. Obviously you will need Haskell coding experience, but also be able to advise on time management, strategies for gaining a userbase and keeping them happy, ways of interacting with the wider Haskell community, and so on. Regards, Malcolm
