Google has just turned on the student application web page. If you’re interested in taking part in the 2008 GSoC as a student, please feel free to turn in an application: [http://groups.google.com/group/google-summer-of-code-announce/web/guide-to-the-gsoc-web-app-for-student-applicants](http://groups.google.com/group/google-summer-of-code-announce/web/guide-to-the-gsoc-web-app-for-student-applicants) Some project ideas are located here: [http://rubycentral.com/projects/gsoc-2008/ideas-for-gsoc-2008](http://rubycentral.com/projects/gsoc-2008/ideas-for-gsoc-2008) (this page is not comprehensive, and will be updated as prospective mentors contact me with additional ideas) I’ll be sending out an email to prospective mentors who’ve already contacted me tomorrow. If you are interested in working as a mentor, and haven’t yet contacted me (or are worried that I’ve forgotten you) please drop me a private response. ---

At this point, we don’t have specific mentors assigned to specific projects. If you would like to discuss any of the projects, I would recommend discussing them here or on a mailing list specific to the code that project involves (i.e., rspec, rubinius, jruby, merb, etc) ---

If not, you would be welcome to ask them here as well. rue is the official mod\_rubinius developer, so you could always try asking him directly. ---
