The Google Summer of Code is running again this year[1]. Last year we
started ten projects with students, and six of them ran to
completion[2], providing us with new useful code. This year, we're
applying again for Debian to be a mentoring organisation. With luck,
we'll get some enthusiastic new developers working for us, paid full
time by Google for the duration of the summer. We will hear in the
next few days whether or not Debian has been accepted; in the
meantime, we need to get working.
