Re: [docbook-tc] DocBook Technical Committee Meeting Minutes: 15 October 2014

[Richard Hamilton <hamilton@xmlpress.net>]

One addition to the minutes and possibly of interest beyond the TC.

The Google Summer of Code 2015 will be accepting applications soon. If there is enough interest, we should consider entering again (we are so far 2 for 4 on acceptances).

If you're interested in being a mentor for the program, please send email to me or to the list.

Best regards,
Dick Hamilton
