I say let's go for it. We can always apply to be a sub-org, and if no project/student combination seems is suitable given the mentor volunteer(s), I don't think there is any problem with not accepting any.
True The fftpack project sounds reasonable. I can at least be a secondary
member, possibly a primary depending on my time this spring and summer.
I can also be the SciPy sub-org admin, since I'm usually one for another sub-org anyway.
Awesome, thanks! Ralf

Hi all,
It's the time of the year where GSoC kicks off again. Below email from Terri, the lead PSF organizer, explains some of the deadlines and things that are different from last year.
So: do we want to participate again this year? We already have one serious proposal from a student in preparation, about scipy.fftpack (see earlier thread on this list).
If we do want to participate, do we have volunteers for mentors and a sub-org admin? I've done the latter for the last years, but this year I really do not have the time (if you're interested: it doesn't take much time compared to mentoring).
Cheers, Ralf

Happy new year, everyone!
As you may have seen, we're starting to prepare Python's application for GSoC 2019, and we need your ideas. We've got a few eager students already asking what you'd like them to work on.
The website has been updated for 2019: http://python-gsoc.org
New and notable:
- GSoC org applications open early this year, starting January 15th! Google moves the dates around every year so students in different countries with different schedules get opportunities to participate more easily when the times line up with their scholastic year, and this is one of the early years.
- We're asking for sub-orgs to get as many ideas ready as they can by Feb 4th so that we have lots of ideas ready for when Google judges our umbrella org ideas page. We need well-formed ideas if we want to get accepted, and now's a great time to catch the eye of the most eager students! Once you've got some ideas ready, you can make a pull request to get yourself added to the page here: https://github.com/python-gsoc/python-gsoc.github.io
- John has set up a Slack channel for Python GSoC. It's bridged in to link to the IRC channel, but may be a more familiar interface/mobile app for people who aren't regular IRC users. I know, it's not open source, but we didn't have much luck with Zulip and while Matrix has been good it's not quite solving the usability problem we have with the students, so we're trying out the more popular Slack. We'll see how it works this year and if it's worth keeping, so if this is a thing you want us to support, please use it! (And if you see problems, please report them to gsoc-admins@python.org so we can get them fixed.)
You can snag a Slack invite here:
https://join.slack.com/t/python-gsoc/shared_invite/enQtNDg0NDgwNjMyNTE2LTNlO...
- We've got space for some new sub-orgs this year! If you know of any projects that might want to try out GSoC with us this year, let us know, or tell them to email gsoc-admins@python.org (or join irc/matrix/slack, or whatever) to chat with us!
