Plan 9 participates in Google's Summer of Code event. We have participated in 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, and are again applying as a mentoring organization in 2014. This has been a really positive experience for us and for our students, and we hope to make this the best year yet for all involved. Things are underway for 2014. (See the [program timeline | http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2014].) If you're a prospective student, now's a good time to look over our [gsoc-2014-ideas] page and think about what you'd like to do for the summer. Don't be shy about suggesting your own projects, too; we are always happy to discuss project ideas related to the Plan 9 family of technologies. You should also probably sign up for [9fans | http://mail.9fans.net/listinfo/9fans], or main mailing list, if you aren't already on it. You can also check out our [GSoC Student Application] template and our [GSoC Student Expectations]. The entire community is encouraged to contribute good summer-sized ideas to the [gsoc-2014-ideas] page. Anyone who wants to follow along in all the GSoC fun is invited to join our [Google Group | http://groups.google.com/group/plan9-gsoc/]. We do a lot of planning and discussion of the program there, and that's where all the regular student and mentor reports will go (with consolidated summaries sent to 9fans). If you're a prospective mentor and you're not on our mentor's mailing list, contact Anthony Sorace (a@9srv.net). To make sure everyone's on the same page going in, we've tried to make our expectations on various parties explicit. To that end, we have pages for [GSoC Student Expectations], [GSoC Mentor Expectations], and [GSoC Admin Expectations].
