Re: Google Summer of Code-2012

 

I would like to volunteer too!

I agree with Ewan, we need fix time and dedicate mentors to students.

Can anyone telll me how this Google Summer of code works? I have gone
through there site, but I didn't get complete overview.

Like for example, we propose A project, then for this what kind of
development, testing, code submission process will work etc...?

Thanks all,
Hitesh Wadekar

Thanks,
Hitesh
