If you and/or Terry would post this that would be great -- I do have plenty of net access here but my time is very fragmented. Once it's posted I'll blog a link.

One comment: I would add explicitly to the subject that the PSF is currently requesting mentors, not students. Perhaps

Subject: Python Software Foundation looking for mentors for the Google Summer of Code

would work?

How widely are you sending this? I'd say c.l.py.a, c.l.py, python-dev, IronPython, Jython, Zope lists.

Guido, are you willing to send this? Would you rather me, Terry, or someone else send it?

My changes are inline. They aren't extensive. On 4/18/06, Terry Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> wrote: > between May 1, 17:00 PST through May 8, 17:00 PST.

Complete version with edits: Google 2006 Summer of Code and Python Software Foundation This spring and summer, Google corporation will again provide several hundred stipends for students (18+, undergraduate thru PhD programs) to write new open-source code. The main page is http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html. At the bottom are links to StudentFAQ, MentorFAQ, and TermsOfService. The first two have the timeline. Note that student applications are due between May 1, 17:00 PST through May 8, 17:00 PST. The Python Software Foundation (PSF) will again act as a sponsoring organization matching mentors and projects benefiting Python and Python programmers. Projects can include work on Python implementations, programmer utilitilies, libraries, packages, or frameworks. Project ideas are welcome and can be added to http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode, possibly as links to fuller explanations elsewhere. The projects from last summer are described at http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2005 People interested in mentoring a student though PSF are encouraged to contact Neal Norwitz at nnorwitz at gmail.com. People unknown to Neal or Guido should find a couple of people known within the Python community that are willing to act as references.
