Hi --
There's a big buzz about the Google Summer of Code program
(http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html), and I thought I'd post an
update (not an encouraging one) here, with regard to Ruby Central,
Inc.
I had hoped that this post would be a call for mentors for the Summer
of Code program. Unfortunately, as of this morning they appear to
have shut the door on further mentoring organzations. The information
on the website is contradictory, and I have written to them asking for
clarification and help. But if the worst is true (the "No" in the
FAQ, as opposed to the "It's not too late" in the overview), then Ruby
Central is out in the cold.
I will keep you posted. Meanwhile, any students who want to apply
should, I'm sorry to say, probably look for another mentoring
organization. I wish it were otherwise, but most of all I do not want
to see anyone's application held up or sidetracked because of these
problems.
