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.

Hi,

long time waiting for that

I have an idea, but the time and place to propose it is tomorrow and here (http://wiki.maemo.org/GSoC_2010/Projects), right?

Thanks in advance

Thomas Bertani

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

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

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

Hello, I have and othe proposal that is to write a Maemo client for the Plurk service http://www.plurk.com/ that is a type of service like twitter, and actualy has an official API, I' dont know what did you think about it.

Please somebody response me, i will apreciate your feedback.

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

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

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.
