Plan 9 applying to GSoC

Plan 9 is applying to GSoC again!

The application period closes on Monday, and our formal application is in. =
As is the case every year, the most critical part of an application is the =
org's ideas page[1]. We'd love additional fleshed-out contributions for tha=
t. Since we had a little confusion on this last year, please note that we'r=
e looking specifically for well-developed ideas that would be good summer-s=
ized projects for new contributors, from folks willing to mentor those proj=
ects (rather than "it'd be neat if someone would do X"); see the existing i=
deas page for examples (some of which are more developed than others, certa=
inly!).

If you're interested in mentoring, please let me know! Bringing your own pr=
oject idea is great, but we can also use more experienced, eager folks to p=
air up with new contributors on other projects.

We've got an overview page[2], and all the program details are on Google's =
GSoC page[3], and  you might be interested in the program timeline[4] in pa=
rticular.

One other note, for those of you who're familiar with the program, there ar=
e a few notable changes, which Google goes into in a post[5] about them. In=
 brief, though:

	- The program is now open to a lot more than just formal students
	- There are two project sizes: large ("traditional") and medium (like last=
 year's)
	- The timing of the work is more flexible.

I think these are all great (even if they make a little more work for admin=
s and mentors!) and should be nice additions to the program.

Your friendly neighborhood org admin,
Anthony
