      Unfortunately the chat was a flop. The students were there along with mentors, but no one was there that was interested and NOT already in the loop.

    The GSoC students have posted instructions on how to access their projects to try them out, as they are all in working condition. Please check them them out — many are in plugin form so it’s easy to try them. We have projects for File Uploader, Language Packs, Document Revisions, Local Storage drafts backup, Courseware/learn.wordpress.org, Enhanced emails, Threaded Comments, Extending WP Webservices, Refresh Android app UI, WordPress Move, and Template Versioning.

    After you’ve tried any of the projects, feedback would be great! Let us know what you thought of them in the comments, and if you have specific technical questions/suggestions, use the student blog. Review/feedback chats will be scheduled for next week.

    3.2 will be launching this week. I know everyone will be itching to start talking about features for 3.3, but I’d like to put a moratorium on that for a week or two so that we can spend some dedicated time looking at the GSoC projects.

    We have a history of getting great students, being excited about their projects, then not paying much attention once they’re underway. We need to change this. These students are potentially the next generation of WordPress leaders, and we should be paying close attention to their work (and thinking about how we can use it).

    As it happens, next week is midterm for the GSoC students, which is perfect timing for a review, since all students are meant to have their projects coded and ready for testing by this point. After 3.2 is released, I’d like all the leads and committers (and any other interested contributors) to look over each project and provide feedback to the student/mentor groups. We could do this on our student blog, in IRC chats, or a combination.

    Does anyone have a problem with postponing 3.3 talks for a week so we can make sure our GSoC kids are on the right track?

    Sorry for the short notice: a few GSOC info chats for student projects got re-scheduled for today (schedule posted over on the WP/GSoC blog night before last). If anyone is around, it would be great to show the students some support and ask them questions about their projects in #wordpress-gsoc on irc.freenode.net.

    IRC chats for @dajulia3, @suscov, and @anirudh24seven are scheduled as follows for this Friday, July 1:
    Anirudh: 18:30 UTC
    David: 19:00 UTC
    Stas: 19:30 UTC

    Hello folks The GSoC students have ironed out…

    Oh, and re suggestions: Please be respectful of students and mentors and try not to assume that they don’t know what they’re doing. Sometimes it’s easy to get carried away — out of the best intentions — when giving advice, so once a suggestion has been heard, leave it to the students and mentors to decide if they’ll take the advice or not. Thanks!

    2011 GSoC Students Announced 

    Google has announced the students who were selected to participate in the Google Summer of Code program this year. WordPress is once again a participating organization, and will have 12 students working with us this year. We were awarded the 15 slots we requested, but based on how we distributed the mentors (and how many students applied for the same projects), we donated 3 slots back to the pool so other organizations could use them (no need for us to be greedy, right?). Introducing our 2011 GSoC students/projects:

    • Document Revisions – Ben Balter: Mitcho, duck_, and Jorbin
    • File Uploader Upgrade – Jacob Gillespie: Koop, azaozz
    • Local Storage Drafts backup – Mihai Chereji: Filosofo, mitcho (assist from azaozz and koop)
    • Learn.wordpress.org – Stas Suscov: Jeremy Boggs, Jtrip (others in ad hoc manner)
    • Enhanced emails – Wojtek Szutnik: Aaron Campbell and Justin
    • Threaded Comments – azram19: Westi and Koop
    • Extending WP Webservices – Prasath Nadarajah: Thorsten and Eric Mann
    • Language Packs – Marko Novakovic: Nacin and Nikolay
    • Refresh Android app UI – Anirudh S: Dan Roundhill and Isaac
    • Full-throttle Trac Annihilation – Jakub Tyrcha: Dion, duck_ and scribu
    • WordPress Move – Mert Yazicioglu: Pete Mall and Brian Layman
    • Template Versioning – David Julia: Ocean90 and Nacin (with possible assist Koop)

    We’ll be setting up the group blog for students this week and will announce it here when it’s up and running. All the project descriptions will be available there, along with links to student blogs.

    List of all projects accepted into GSoC 2011.

    GSoC mentors who have not posted their selections to the mentor blog and need to do so today if they still want to be mentors: @nacin, @dkoopersmith, @dd32, @johnjamesjacoby, Mitcho, Thorsten, @viper007bond, @filosofo, Brian Layman, Chris Jean, ocean90, Russell Fair. If anyone on this list does not know what I’m talking about, they should leave a comment saying as much immediately so I can walk you through it if you missed the original emails. We’ll be doing mentor-student matching tomorrow, so this is it.

    The application deadline for GSoC has now passed. We have received a total of 60 applications, and the volunteer mentors will be reviewing them over the next several days. Selected students will be announced on April 25.
