[Bf-committers] Google Summer of Code!

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi team,

Blender has been accepted by Google as a "Mentoring Organization",  
which means that students can contact us to define a coding project -  
approved by us - to submit to Google for approval.

All info is here:
http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html
http://code.google.com/summfaq.html
http://code.google.com/mentfaq.html

Chris Want has volunteered to coordinate the submission and approval  
process.

In short, it will go like this;

- Chris gets the mail in from students
- Chris will sort out what the student can do (or likes to do), and who  
could be a Mentor for it
- The student then writes, approved by Mentor, a submission for Google.

Candidate as Mentor can be anyone who has cvs write access to Blender,  
and who already maintains a part of Blender code. Please let Chris know  
if you are available.
Mentors will receive the 500 USD Organization fee!

Candidate as Participant can be anyone who is still a student, even if  
you already are a bf-blender committer. Also in that case, just contact  
Chris.

Chris' email is: cwant (at) ualberta (dot) ca.
