> Dear Students,
>
> Now it is your turn! You will have to register in our website first [1],
> put there some information, show interest for the projects and contact
> the project mentors. After the registration step you will get all the
> mentors information in order to contact them. By pressing the button on
> the project, you will show your interest. This is not something formal yet.
>
> Of course you can propose your own project too. In this case write a
> proposal in a format other projects have and send it to admins (see the
> email on the bottom).
>
> Our mentors will vote for the most interesting projects and in the
> middle of the voting Google will tell us, how many projects will
> actually be funded. Voting will happen in April, with final results
> expected at the end of April. At that time you will finally know if you
> are accepted or not.
>
> Of course, there can be many students interested per project. This means
> that interest for this project is high, but on the other side a chance
> that you will be chosen is lower.  It is up to you to convince a mentor
> that you are the best!
>
> Note also that the Ideas page is deprecated. On ideas page just the
> project ideas were collected. Now, we are preparing the real projects.
> So, please from now on always refer to this link for the projects:
>
>        http://gsoc2012.esug.org/projects
>
> So, the initial steps are:
>
>    1. Register on our special Smalltalk GSoC website (with
>       your Google account!):
>
>         http://gsoc2012.esug.org/admin?view=loginGoogle
>
>    2. Edit your profile to get some more contact information for
>       mentors to let you know,
>    3. Fulfill your brief Biography page (see Biography tab on profile),
>    4. Go to Projects page, choose up to three projects and click there
>       'I'm interested' button,
>    5. Contact and discuss with project mentors about your interest.
>
> Subscribe also to a special mailing list [2] where we will help you with
> further steps.
>
> Deadline: as soon as possible, because the deadline to register on
> official GSoC website [3] is 6.April, which is, well, soon! But about
> that later...
>
> Finally, we will really appreciate if you can help us to distribute this
> call for students. One of our goals is to increase the Smalltalk
> community. Those who have access to universities can distribute this
> among the students.
