GSoC 10 - Students wanted ($5000 per project)
 

The Maemo community is looking for talented students to join us in Google Summer of Code 2010.

We already have a good pool of ideas, but new ideas are more than welcome, especially in the following areas:

* Location based apps;
* Context aware apps;
* Social apps clients;
* Mobile/embedded apps in general that can benefit a wide range of platforms (Maemo, MeeGo, etc…).

Following the merger of Moblin and Maemo, we’ll also accept ideas for new MeeGo project,

This year the students will received $5000 + gifts for each successful project, the application period will start tomorrow(March 29) and will end on April 9.

More informations about Maemo @ GSoC can be found here.

I think this is the right place : http://wiki.maemo.org/GSoC_2010/Project_ideas

Re: GSoC 10 - Students wanted ($5000 per project)
 

mmm in projected ideas there are also all the proposal so I cannot understand if it is the right place to post the ideas by which a student wants to propose himself

Re: GSoC 10 - Students wanted ($5000 per project)
 

No need, only if you want(see previous post for the correct link), if you want to discuss a idea better post it here or in the -devel mailing list. We'll also discuss the proposals but that inside the GSoC system.

So you are looking for the application proposal ? Read the faq to know how to proceed: http://socghop.appspot.com/document/.../gsoc2010/faqs

I want to work and develop an application. How can I apply for GSoC?
I am based in India.

Re: GSoC 10 - Students wanted ($5000 per project)
 

You should have an idea to delevop, instead, you shoud see the ideas list, and look for the option that you prefer.

Re: GSoC 10 - Students wanted ($5000 per project)
 

I personally don't know the service, perhaps the user base is not that big, and a Maemo client would be used only by a small minority, we will prefer projects that can reach a bigger user base, correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: GSoC 10 - Students wanted ($5000 per project)
 

How do students usually discuss the ideals with the community?
I mean by what. IRC or Maillist or here?

Re: GSoC 10 - Students wanted ($5000 per project)
 

You can discuss in any of these channels, but here or in the mailing list is better IMO.

Re: GSoC 10 - Students wanted ($5000 per project)
 

I submitted an idea to the wiki page when google summer of code 10 was announced. It seems to be in the final proposal stage. How do I actually apply for this project. Sorry if this sounds like a silly question.
