Google's Summer of Code is happening again this year. If you're not familiar with GSoC, see: http://code.google.com/soc/ We decided to apply some time ago, but applications for orgs are now open and need to be in by this coming Friday (20th) so we need to get things a bit more organised. Accepted orgs are due to be announced on March 2nd, and students can apply between March 16th and

Google are running their Summer of Code again this year. If you're not familiar with it, see: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/ Last year was very successful and I think we probably want to apply again this year, assuming there are a sufficient number of people interested in mentoring to make it worthwhile. Org application open on 19th (this Thursday) though the deadline is

Google are running their "Summer of Code" again this year - for background info see: http://code.google.com/soc/ We took part in 2011 and 2012, and we're going to apply again this year.

I'm happy to act as admin (which I've done for SWIG in the past, so I know

If you're not familiar with it, see: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ Interested orgs can apply already up until February 6th (just over a week away as I write). We've taken part many times before, and it's resulted in both new contributors and interesting new features - I think it's well worth applying again. We

The Letor project involves descent amount of Machine Learning while all the ranking related projects are around IR. Its better to introduce your idea on mailing list where all the mentors can have a detailed look at it, potential mentors can respond and the idea is kind of registered under your name.

Google are holding a GSoC "Doc Camp" this year the week before the annual mentor summit - the dates for Doc Camp are 17-21 October, and the location is Google HQ in Mountain View, California, USA. A major part of this will be several Book Sprints for writing Quick Start guides for specific organisations taking part in GSoC. They're currently inviting proposals, and I'd like to

The deadline for students to apply has now passed (it was 19:00 UTC on March 25th). Many thanks you to all who applied. This year Xapian received 31 completed proposals (exactly the same total as when we last took part in 2014), plus another 2 we only had a draft version of. Two were total junk, proposing to implement something unrelated to Xapian and presumably submitted verbatim to several

Hi Tejas, Thank you for your interest in Letor project in Xapian. We would definitely like to consider Letor for this year's GSoC project. What I would suggest you is, start playing with the code and get acquainted with it. The latest code can be obtained from http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/ GSoC2012/LTR Regards, Parth.

Dear Olly, I am very excited to contribute in open source community through the platform of Google Summer of Code 2011.

The reason for my interest is that I have previously worked on .NET related projects both in VB and C#. I also have
