The Google Summer of Code
Links to the proposals themselves can be found on the right. I'm really grateful to Google for running this wonderful program, and I hope to participate in it as long as I am able!
2009
I continued my mentoring streak with two students this year, Priyanka Sharma and Eitan Mosenkis. Both of them passed with flying colors, hurray for more students making meaningful contribution to open source projects I love!
2008
I mentored 2 students this year: Akshat Gupta (PHP bindings for Cairo) and Nandeep Mali (Setting Beacon Afloat). It's exciting to have seen both the ends of the summer of code, and I thouroughly enjoyed my role as a mentor!
2007
I applied to 4 organizations in 2007. This time around Google is doing everything they can to stop multiple selections from happening: It looks like students with highly ranked applications are marked as such, so mentors from one organization would know if that student is likely to be selected in another. The results have been announced and I will be working with Plan9 from Bell Labs on the "Alternative Implementations of 9P" project.
2006
I had made 6 proposals of which 4 were accepted - the Gnome and PSU proposals were rejected. I also included links to supplementary pages in my proposals: PHP-GNOME Bindings, GuideXML Editor, and Web-Based IDE. I finally chose the GuideXML project under Gentoo.
