<br><br><br>
Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
Right now, we have about 2x the students registered on the site as we<br>
do number of proposals submitted. No doubt some of these student<br>
registrations are "spam" from folks who won't be submitting proposals.<br>
However, I am also hearing things like "We have six applications<br>
submitted to the GSoC 2009 site but we're discussing another 20 or so<br>
in our forums."<br>
<br>
I realize that many organizations are working with students to refine<br>
their proposal ideas on their mailing lists, wikis, etc. However, a<br>
proposal on a wiki, mailing list, etc. does not constitute an actual<br>
application for the program; the proposal must be submitted to the<br>
GSoC 2009 site. While doing review and refinement outside of<br>
<a href="http://socghop.appspot.com" target="_blank">http://socghop.appspot.com</a> is a useful exercise, it doesn't allow us<br>
to accurately gauge the number of student proposals we're receiving<br>
for GSoC 2009.<br>
<br>
Please help us get an accurate sense of how many proposals will be<br>
submitted for GSoC 2009 by asking your students to submit their<br>
proposals to the GSoC 2009 site *now*. They are welcome to link to the<br>
wiki page, mailing list thread, forum topic, etc. where their<br>
proposals are under discussion and refinement as part of the proposal<br>
submission process.[0]<br>
....<br>
Cheers,<br>
LH<br>
