Hey

Maybe CentOS can try this year again? Who wants to be a mentor?

You should sync up with Bill Scheel, he did all the heavy lifting last
year and would probably have some interesting feedback.

Bill do you want to do it again this year? Or, if not who wants to do it?

Last was a last second rush to get GSOC for CentOS going.
At this juncture, the CentOS admins/devs need to have a serious
discussion on the GSOC topic before throwing the hat into the ring this
year.

umm -- well, no, not true, actually ... and frenkly I dont see
that a person speaking behind a mask should be given too much
creedence, anyway

A competent submission was presented in a timely fashion, but
it is not clear to me that the project's needs were really a
good fit for what google's judging criteria turned out to be
for last year, as I review the matter

The 'Application', and 'Projects' from last year need only
minor updating; the time line changes are pretty easy to
drill into the existing doco

I know Angel tried to get this going last year and it didn't go very
far. Let's try to change that this year.

Here is the starting page from last year:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code

What we need from us:
* Ideas added to the page that are more than one word. Add what you
can, but at some point, these likely need to be paragraph-long
descriptions of a project that potential students can look at and
apply for.
* Mentors. I can't stress this enough. I think this is why this fell
down last year, but doing this is huge, because for a small investment
of our time, we get a large investment of student time.

I plan on flushing out the pacman section a bit more after consulting
with my fellow pacman devs and looking at our future roadmap and bug
reports. Please add any and all project ideas you can think of to the
list, and we can worry about cleaning it up later, as we aren't having
to submit anything to Google yet.

* single authentication database.

Note that if this is going to happen we need to submit by the 9th.
