Should we apply for Google Summer of Code this year? Would we have enough
people to serve as mentors, and sufficient good project descriptions?

Apologies for cross-posting; I realize many of you will receive this message
twice. If you are not on the list posted at http://soc2010.openmrs.org/ and
want to be, let me know ASAP.

Google is not requiring a full list of mentors on the application this year,
so it's not extremely urgent, but I'd like to get the list finalized by the
end of the week.

Thanks!
Michael

> Hello developers,
>
> Again this year, OpenMRS will be applying to its 4th Google Summer of Code
(GSoC) program. More information on the GSoC for OpenMRS is available at:
http://soc2010.openmrs.org/

> REQUIRED SKILLS
> Google do not have specific eligibility requirements for mentors. However,
if you are interested in being an OpenMRS mentor, you should have sufficient
development skills to train university students who may have limited
development experience. You should be regularly involved with OpenMRS, and
have deep insight into the code base and already be developing code for or
around OpenMRS as a significant part of your regular work. You must also be
available to communicate via weekly conference calls. You also must be able
to commit on average to 4 or 5 hours per week to work with your assigned
student.
