DocBook at Google Summer of Code -- time to sign up as a mentor

[Richard Hamilton <hamilton@xmlpress.net>]

The window for sending in an application for the Google Summer of Code 2012 has opened and applications will be accepted between now and March 9.

Stefan Seefeld and I have volunteered to be co-administrators for the DocBook project, with XML Press (my company) as the organizational contact.

To create a winning application, we need to have mentors who are willing to participate in the project.

If you think you might be interested, please head over to http://docbook.xmlpress.net. There's information about the program, pointers to Google's information about the program, and a place to sign up to be a mentor (if you aren't already signed up to edit the wiki, please register; it only takes a moment). You can also add ideas for projects to the projects page in the wiki.

If you have any questions, feel free to send email to me or Stefan.

We will be assembling the application between now and March 5, and if we have enough mentors to apply (3-4 should suffice), we will update the wiki and let the community review the application before it is submitted.

Best Regards,
Dick Hamilton
