3) GSoC

Blender is accepted in GSoC 2018,

Students, it’s time to start checking on our ideas page 
(https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/GoogleSummerOfCode/2018/Ideas), 
and familiarizing with our code base, especially in the areas that might 
interest you. And of course

Sergey will update developer.blender.org this week (minor, continuous 
update), as well as our buildbot (much bigger update, lots of things 
changed there).


Thanks,
Bastien
