I believe this was my first contribution to GNOME. I'm still far from being an old GNOMEr, though: GNOME is nearly 10 years old and at least someone is there from the beginning :-)

Google Summer of Code 2007: apply!

Apply to Google Summer of Code 2007

The good news of the day for students is that the deadline to apply for SoC has been pushed back to March 26th. But don't wait the last minute to apply ;-) You can look at some of the project ideas the community proposed, but also you can of course apply for a project not listed there. And don't forget that we love GStreamer and Avahi and we're ready to accept applications related to those projects if this can help improve GNOME, so take a look at the GStreamer project ideas and Avahi project ideas!

Also, I want to thank Christian and Lucas who are really helping a lot for the organization of this SoC. Actually, both of them are now joining Behdad and myself as SoC administrators for GNOME :-)

Oh, and since it's not too late here in France: "Noruz mobarak" to all our Iranian friends!

GNOME Roadmap

Murray: wow, fantastic timing! As Lucas already pointed out in a comment, we had a discussion about this just a few hours before your post, and we've outlined a plan to fix the roadmap. We'll work on it in the next few days, and we hope to go live soon (probably next week).

The main issue is that there's a roadmap for each modules in GNOME, but only maintainers know about the roadmap of a module, and we're lacking a consistent GNOME-wide roadmap. There's no reason to think this is unfixable, so let's do it.

It's alive!

GNOME 2.18.0 is out! It's full of love, and it's love in various languages (around 50 supported languages, if I'm not wrong).

Now, maybe you're feeling bad because you didn't contribute enough to this release? Or maybe you're looking for a small way to celebrate this release? Here's the solution: you can help us fill our screenshots gallery with cool 2.18 screenshots!

Let's celebrate the release, or if you're exhausted because of all the efforts you put into it, let's go to bed ;-)

Google Summer of Code 2007: GNOME posters

Máirín created an awesome poster to let students know that they can apply to work on GNOME for the Google Summer of Code 2007.

Google Summer of Code 2007 - GNOME poster

The goal is to put it in as many universities/colleges as possible. And Ryan started a list of universities with known contacts who will post the poster where it makes sense, or distribute it as a flyer. Feel free to add yourself as a contact for your university!

Did I mention that the poster is translated to various languages?

Google Summer of Code 2007 - GNOME poster (french)

Arabic, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Korean, Macedonian and Spanish versions are available now. I'm sure more languages will come. If you translate it, make sure to add links to the files to the wiki page.
