Clear message

These are the [http://code.google.com/soc/ Google "Summer of Code"] projects involving Python and mentored by the Python Software Foundation. Discussion about any SoC topic should take place on the mailing list: [mailto:soc2006@python.org soc2006@python.org] [http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/soc2006 "Click here to join the list."]

For information on the accepted projects for 2005, see ["SummerOfCode/2005"].

How to apply as a mentor

The mentor's responsibility is to ensure the student makes progress. This could be coaching them, providing motivation, making sure they aren't stuck, answering technical questions, or pointing the student to the proper resources; however, the mentor is not expected to do work for the student. In order to accomplish this, the mentor is expected to dedicate a couple of hours per week.

How to submit a proposal

The Drupal folks have some nice information for students.

Here is the [http://code.google.com/soc/studentfaq.html Student FAQ]

Proposal ideas

The following ideas are just suggestions. You're free to invent your own ideas, or to use their suggestions as starting points.

Related sponsors

Those interested in working in [http://www.djangoproject.com Django] may do so [http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/SummerOfCode2006 under the auspices of the Django group].

MoinMoin is also participating as their own organization, see [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/GoogleSoc2006] for project ideas.

[http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/ BBC Research] is also a mentor organisation for python projects using the [http://kamaelia.sourceforge.net/Introduction.html Kamaelia] project for audio/video & multimedia/networking related projects, also for graphical construction of systems. Please see our [http://kamaelia.sourceforge.net/SummerOfCode2006.html Summer of Code] page for more details. (There's some discussion on edu-sig which coincides with some of aims BTW, so if you're interested in python for schools, talk to us, we can't guarantee anything but you'll understand why we're interested if you chat to us!)

Accepted proposals

Note: if a project is listed as having two mentors, the first mentor listed is the primary mentor, and the second one is the back-up mentor.
