[Bf-committers] Google Summer of Code 2013

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

We usually can manage topics via open movie funding quite well too.

And since there's nothing tangible really for a next movie project, I rather check on what existing (bigger) blender projects would need now. 

I also don't think they'd come with real surprises though... we have a lot of known issues. It's not so much that we need ideas, what we need is stakeholders - people who need development for a real world use case.

Speficially I'd like to invite teams/studios to think of useful targets, to define projects they really need (and will use), and to get involved as artist-buddies for the students.
