[IAEP] [Sugar-devel] Sugar Labs in GSoC (Fwd: Congratulations!)

[Sean DALY]

Great news!

just a little detail, "http://sugarlabs.org" is deprecated, we are
communicating
"www.sugarlabs.org" in marketing materials or
"http://www.sugarlabs.org" in webforms profiles etc. instead

thanks

Sean

> and http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/DevelopmentTeam/ProjectIdeas . Go look at

> Labs. Do they answer your questions?
>
> -We need to be ready to answer student questions on IRC, sugar-devel, and
> iaep.
>
> -If you would like to be a mentor, we can still add mentors. Please sign up.
>
> -If you are already signed up as a mentor, please set up your profile on
> http://socghop.appspot.com/ and then privately email your link_id to walter
> bender, mel chua, and(or) me.

> suspect we may "inherit" OLPC's history; otherwise, slots are generally
> proportional to student applications (more FAQ on slot allocations); list of
> accepted orgs; timeline : student applications from March 23 through April
> 3, then we madly decide, then acceptances are announced April 15th.

> Hooray!
