Drupal has been invited to participate and I'm in the process of organizing things. There's a thread for the masses here: http://drupal.org/node/58799 To the developer's list, I have three requests: 1) if you want to participate as a mentor, contact me off list 2) if you have ideas of projects that you think are appropriate for a student in a summer's time, please start working on the following: - describe the project and it's motivations - describe a roadmap and (as far as possible) a technical specification that can be followed - keep in mind that students choose their projects based on what they find interesting and what they think they can accomplish, so remember what would have caught your attention as a student. 3) we will soon have an "official" Summer of Code 2006 page where these projects can be described and discussed. It's not there yet. When it is there, please advertise it. Blog about it and if you have contact with students, point them to it and encourage them to apply. Cheers, Robert Khalid B wrote:

Last year's summer of code was a success by any measure.
We got important modules implemented (e.g. Google sitemap), as well as long term quality contributors (like Angela Byron/webchick). (Those are just examples I have been involved with, there are many others).
So, any ideas for this year? (Hi Rob!)
