Hi everyone,
Congrats to all of you. You have been selected for the GSOC 2008!
I'm forwarding this email I sent on the xwiki dev list as I'm not sure
you're all subscribed there. If not make sure you subscribe since this
is the main communication tool.
What are the next steps:
* We strongly encourage you to blog about your participation to the
GSOC and your experience. The more buzz the better for you and for the
xwiki project ;)
* Read http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/ and
start mingling with the xwiki community. More specifically we would
like that each of you pick one or several existing issues in JIRA (it
can be simple ones) and send a patch that fixes it/them before that
period ends (from now till May 26th) This is a critical integration
step to ensure all SOC students understand how XWiki works and it's a
chance to start asking questions and get to know each other.
* Start preparing the architecture for your GSOC project and discuss
your ideas on how to implement it on the xwiki dev mailing lists.
Thanks again. We're thrilled to have you on board!
-Vincent on behalf of the XWiki dev team

Welcome aboard to all students! Please make sure you read and
understand the "Suggested way of working for SOC students" on
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/
More specifically it's now the bonding period. As such we'd like
each SOC student to pick one or several existing issues in JIRA and
send a patch that fixes it/them before that period ends (from April
14th to May 26th) This is a critical integration step to ensure all
SOC students understand how XWiki works and it's a chance to start
asking questions and get to know each other.
Thanks a lot
-Vincent
