Have you considered participating as a Mentoring organization? Offering any project about Scipy?
I'm not sure which "you" you are referring to here, but yes! Unfortunately, it was a bit late in the process to be applying as a mentoring organization. Google started consolidating mentoring organizations. However, I and several others at Enthought are volunteering to mentor through the PSF. I encourage others on these lists to do the same or to apply as students, whichever is appropriate. We'll be happy to provide SVN workspace for numpy and scipy SoC projects. I've added one fairly general scipy entry to the python.org Wiki page listing project ideas: http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode If you have more specific ideas, please add them to the Wiki. Potential mentors: Neal Norwitz is coordinating PSF mentors this year and has asked that those he or Guido does not know personally to give personal references. If you've been active on this list, I'm sure we can play the "Two Degrees of Separation From Guido Game" and get you a reference from someone else here. -- Robert Kern robert.kern@gmail.com "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
