Sahana has been again selected to participate in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) for 2009.

A full timeline of important dates for this summer is available.

We were selected as 1 of 150 out of about 400 groups who applied this year.  This is a strong testament to the reputation that Sahana has built up of the last few years and the great success that we have had as part of this program previously.  We still do not know how many students we will be able to involve this year, but it may likely be fewer than we have had in the past as there are fewer spots to go around.  Further information about student allocation can be found here: http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/program/google/gsoc2009/studentallocations.

Students:
If you are a student who is interested in participating in the GSoC this year, I would encourage you to review our ideas page and our student guidelines on the Sahana Wiki.  Once you have reviewed that information, I would invite you to discuss any ideas that you may have on the Sahana maindev mailing list or via IRC .  Students who take the opportunity to discuss their ideas with the Sahana development team will definitely have an easier time pulling together quality proposals.
