<p>&os; is pleased to have been accepted as a participating
organization in Google's Summer of Code 2014. This will be the
tenth time we have participated in the program, having been
selected to participate every year since its introduction.</p>
<p>This year, the administrators made a special attempt to spread
the word about Summer of Code around Universities, including
making contact with around 350 mainly Polish, British, African
and American universities to advertise the Summer of Code
program, with a particular focus on &os;'s participation. We
made contact with both technical departments and student
societies. Posters were produced in several languages, and &os;
committers and users were encouraged to distribute these posters
around their local universities.</p>
<p>&os; received a total of 39 proposals from students, and were
subsequently granted 15 slots from Google. We are now facing
the unpleasant challenge of trying to decide which of the 39
proposals to select, taking into account the quality,
desirability and feasibility of each proposal, as well as
ensuring we will be able to provide an excellent mentoring
experience to each selected student. All mentors have
volunteered to mentor, and we pair students with mentors
primarily based on the prospective mentor's areas of expertise,
interest in the project, also taking into account the desire to
pair students up with mentors in similar timezones in order to
improve the student experience. The final list of accepted
students is expected to be announced on the 21st April.</p>
