All,
It looks like none of ESUG, Squeak, Pharo are in the list at
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2011If you have a project that can be done in GNU Smalltalk, I suggest
that you direct students to it and submit it under the GNU project,
where I am co-admin.
FAQs:
1) does gst work on Windows?
A: in theory yes, in practice it's simpler if you direct your student
to Linux. Due to this special occasion I'll make a new release on
Monday.
2) will the code need to have a specific license?
a: no, as long as it is GPL-compatible. MIT/X11 or BSD is fine.
3) who will help with installing GNU Smalltalk and so on?
a: debian has packages that are quite up-to-date. Otherwise, people
at
[hidden email] will be friendly.
4) can we use the cool app that janko made last year?
a: yes, but remember that we'll be competing with non-Smalltalk gnu
projects so we should submit very early.
5) can i write code that runs in squeak/pharo/vw?
a: GNU Smalltalk is ANSI-compliant and has ports for many libraries.
You can even develop in squeak/pharo/etc. but you should set aside a
few weeks to ensure portability. The final code samples for Google
would need to run in gst.
6) who will be mentoring the projects?
a: I'll probably ask people from the GNU Smalltalk community to be co-mentors.
Paolo
