Hi everyone!

Once again, the Mono team is happy to announce that we are participating in the Google Summer of Code 2012! Last year was a great success, and we hope this year will be even better!

As usual, project ideas and rules are available on our GSoC page at http://mono-project.com/Gsoc . The ideas list has been updated throughout last week, so don't be surprised if some things have moved around or disappeared. Feel free to choose one or more ideas from that page, or come up with your own awesome idea and send us your proposal!

This week is all about talking to developers and prospective mentors, discussing your ideas and getting feedback prior to the official student proposal submission phase, which starts on March 26th. Take this time to introduce yourself and get to know the community, and show us how excited you are about coding the summer away! :)

This mailing list is a good place to start for Orchard and Documentation ideas.
You can also find most devs over at the mono-devel (http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list) list [1], the MonoDevelop devs over at the monodevelop (http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monodevelop-list) list [2] and monodevelop-devel (http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monodevelop-devel-list) list [3]. A complete breakdown of all our mailing lists is available here (http://www.mono-project.com/Mailing_Lists) [4].

And, of course, IRC is where everyone is: server irc.gnome.org, channels #mono (general mono discussions), #monodev (for Mono development), #monodevelop (for MonoDevelop), #monosoc (for GSoC-related questions).


Good luck, and happy coding!
