== Ideas and Proposals ==

We have a separate page for [[Summer of Code/Ideas|ideas]] this year.

Student proposals from all years can be found in [[:Category:GSoC_proposals]]. Students are encouraged to create a wiki page for their project proposal and put in that category in order to get feedback from the wider OLPC community.

== Mentors ==


If you are interested in mentoring participants, please read the [http://code.google.com/soc/mentorfaq.html mentor FAQ]. Note that both the ability to spend significant time mentoring, and the quality of the students are key to a good return on investment by the mentor, and the learning by the students. Please do not sign up to be a mentor unless you are certain you can meet the obligations of being a good mentor. If you are interested in mentoring, please send mail to [[User:Sj|Sj]] and leave a note below with a link to your userpage, where you should describe your background.
