[arch-general] Google Summer of Code 2017
Hi everyone, I am currently thinking about applying for the 2017 run of Google Summer of Code. Because I am an avid Arch user and general Linux enthusiast I thought it would be nice to work on Arch and make my contribution back to the community. This discussion seems to come up most years and I don’t know what the outcome of this was previously but I thought I’d ask anyway. I am a PhD student in theoretical and computational materials science based in London. I am an experienced c++ and python user but I am getting more and more interested in the inner workings of the linux kernel and the way various distributions are built on top of it, which also explains my interest in doing this. Anyone know whether someone of the Arch developers could be interested in (or gently persuaded into) mentoring a Summer of code project? Best wishes, Jonas
I read about past failed attempts of arch trying to make something out of gsoc, and that LDAP layer supposed to connect the different websites' logins stil is not a thing. Go ahead, I'd say. On that same note, do we have more pressing issues? cheers! mar77i
If you want to hack the kernel, you should probably go directly to kernel.org (also, search for Eudyptula).

Two years ago however Allan send out some ideas, finding mentors however will be challenging :) https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2014-November/026748.h... -- Jelle van der Waa
Hey everyone, I also might be interested in doing something for Arch in the next GSoC. A few days ago I saw some ideas both in the issue tracker and in the wiki about remaking Arch's websites (mainly the main page and the wiki) with Bootstrap4 (or making it responsive) and in general improving the sites as a whole. Since I am a web developer (and have experience in managing mediawiki installations and developing mediawiki skins) I thought I could be very useful for the whole Arch community and GSoC was a great starting point. Should I try and find some possible mentors for the project? (Last year I was a mentor for KDE and know how hard is to find mentors but let's try) The thing is also that the Arch organization has to reach out to Google and propose itself for GSoC.
