Hello!

Should we submit a project for GSoC?  There’s some info regarding GNU’s
participation at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/summer-of-code/2013-02/threads.html>.
(I have zero experience with GSoC, though.)

One project that would be suitable, because it’s orthogonal and
challenging yet doable, is some sort of a Hydra rewrite in Guile.

Thoughts?

I don't have any experience with GSoC either, but I'm wondering whether 
Google will allow us to submit a list of projects since Guix is a really 
young project. Does every project have to apply on its own, or can GNU 
apply ?

How hard is it to port Guix to other architectures ? Could this be a 
GSoC project ? How about packaging a huge piece of software (I'm 
thinking about GNOME/KDE, for instance) ?

GNU is applying as an organization, so this would be under GNU’s umbrella.

Until we have cross-compilation it’s tedious.  But that’s not
sufficiently motivating or ambitious for GSoC, IMO.

Yes, sounds like a good idea.

Actually, I wondered if this was sufficiently ambitious and motivating...

Of course that’s questionable.  :-)  It’s surely less motivating than a
Hydra-like thing.

Hello!

News: the deadline to apply under the GNU umbrella is March 25th.
Details at:

  http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2013.html

Would anyone like to submit a more concrete proposal, and possibly
volunteer to mentor it?  I could do it, but it’s even better if somebody
else does.

Another idea: integration with GNUnet to publish the user-built binaries
on the DHT, and allow them to be retrieved (via the substituter
mechanism).
