Meanwhile the FAQ including the timeline has been published. http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2009/faqs.html According to that participating organizations are published on March 18. As of then we should have a good ideas page motivating students to contact us early, while the official student applications won't start until March 23. The sooner we hear from them the better our selection process can be, that didn't run perfect last year. Currently the ideas page is still quite short. It would be nice to fill it up while ideas might be quite rough, too. Last year we had 10 accepted projects, by now we have 3 ideas. If you volunteer as mentor please mind the program schedule, so you are available during that time and especially during the evaluation time. (While last year the dates where postponed by a week...) Last year it was a bit frustrating to get everybody to fill out this paperwork. http://wiki.php.net/gsoc/2009/ Talking about paperwork: Scott agreed to do the bureaucratic work this year and to act as primary administrator. I hope we get it running smoother than last year where I jumped in just from time to time when I found out the original admin didn't have enough time. Everybody: come up with ideas and write them down Scott: run it from here :-) johannes ps. When answering: Please strip down the recipients list to not spam everybody.
