The application period for GSOC is now open (as of March 23rd). You can find the llvm application here: http://socghop.appspot.com/org/show/google/gsoc2009/llvm All the information is on that page, but here are a couple of things you should be aware of. - All applications should be discussed on the mailing list before submitting your application. - It is suggested (not required!) that you contribute to LLVM prior to submitting your application to demonstrate your committment to the project. Good luck and we look forward to seeing your applications! Thanks, Tanya Lattner
