[Outreachy GSoC] 2020 round

[Outreachy GSoC] 2020 round

[Gábor Boskovits]

Outreachy

Applications for the May to August 2020 round will open on January 22 16:00 UTC.

As far as I know prospective applicants for Outreachy should file
their initial application well before the projects are announced.

Also, I believe we have four proposals two of them in great shape from
the previous round:
1. Guix Data Service internationalization support
2. netlink wrapper in guile, and a better static networking service for guix

There were also two ideas:
1. Exporting metrics from cuirass and the guix daemon for monitoring,
and for possible use by the data service.
2. Guix installer accessibility improvements.

GSoC

According to the GSoC timeline:
Mentoring organizations begin on Jan. 14. 19:00 UTC.
And the mentoring organization application deadline is: Feb. 5. 19:00 UTC.
https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline

As earlier, Guix intends to participate under the GNU umbrella.

We have this GSoC ideas page:
https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/GSoC-2019
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could someone help me clarify what project ideas are still alive and
have a prospective mentor?

Also is there any other idea we should take into consideration? Or
should we move any of the proposals between the internships?

Best regards,
g_bor

Internationalization support in the Guix Data Service is something that
still needs doing, and I'm still available and interested in mentoring
for this (or something else Guix Data Service related) in either
Outreachy or GSoC.
