Hi there,<br>
<br>
I wish you all the best for 2020!<br>
<br>
We're planning to apply for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) again. GSoC
is a program by Google to bring student developers into Open Source
projects. <br>
tl;dr: Google pays students for 3 months in summer developing
software for an open source project. Therefore we need to collect
ideas for possible projects. People from the projects will act as
mentors for students. If you want to know more about that, please
visit

<br>
Freifunk acts as umbrella organization since 2008 for several
projects like OpenWRT, ninux, qaul.net, guifi.net, retroshare, wlan
slowenija, altermundi.net, ...<br>
<br>
To apply as organization we need a list of project ideas, we collect
at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://projects.freifunk.net">https://projects.freifunk.net</a>.
Now it's the best time to update or add ideas. This can be done via
github:
<meta charset="utf-8">
<a href="https://github.com/freifunk/projects.freifunk.net-contents">https://github.com/freifunk/projects.freifunk.net-contents</a><br>
<br>
The application period will start on January 14. The best case would
be if you add your ideas until this deadline :)

If you know people within your community that would be interested in
mentoring projects, feel free to distribute this email. Also, if you
know students that would be interested in doing projects for one of
our organizations, please tell them!<br>
<br>
If you have any questions, just send me an email!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
