Google Summer of Code 2013

Hello all,
GSOC is happening again. We applied last year, our feedback was that
our proposal was great, nothing needs to be done to improve it - there
just wasn't enough money to go around. I can help organize it again,
and most of our material can be reused from last year. It's still very
early, but we can start thinking about if we want someone and what
projects they can do.

Subject: [GSoC Mentors Announce] Google Summer of Code 2013
To: [hidden email]


Hi GSoC mentors and org admins,

We've announced that we're doing Google Summer of Code 2013 [1]. Yay!

If you would like to help spread the word about GSoC, we have
presentations [2], logos [3], and flyers [4] for you to use. Please
host meetups, tell your friends and colleagues about the program, go
to conferences, talk to people about the program, and just generally
do all the awesome word-of-mouth stuff you do every year to promote
the program.

The GSoC calendar, FAQ, and events timeline have all been updated with
this year's important dates, so please refer to those for the
milestones for this year's program. NB: the normal timeline for the
program has been modified for this year. You'll probably want to
examine the dates closely to make sure you know when important things
are happening.

Please consider translating the presentations and/or flyers into your
native language and submitting them directly to me to post on the
wiki. Localization for our material is integral to reaching the widest
possible audience around the world. If you decide to translate a
flyer, please fill out our form to request a thank you gift for your
effort. [5]

If you decide to host a meetup, please email me to let me know the
date, time, and location so I can put it on the GSoC calendar. Also,
remember to take pictures at your meetup and write up a blog post for
our blog using our provided template for formatting [6]. If you need
promotional items for your attendees, please fill out our form [7] to
request some; we're happy to send some along. We can provide up to
about 25 pens, notebooks, or stickers and/or a few t-shirts. Please
keep in mind, though, that shipping restrictions and timeline vary
country-to-country; request items early to make sure they get there on
time! If you have questions about hosting meetups, please see the
section in our FAQ [8].

Please also consider applying to participate as an organization again
this year or maybe joining as a mentor for your favorite organization
if they are selected this year.

We rely on you for your help for the success of this program, so thank
you in advance for all the work you do!
