Hi!
We have nearly missed the chance to apply for mentoring Google Summer
of code (GSoC) projects...
We'll begin accepting applications from open source mentoring organizations on Monday,
March 3, 2008; we'll stop accepting organization applications on Wednesday, March 12th
That is tomorrow at 19.00 UTC
GSoC main page: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/
Mentor hints including advice for ideas list:

Last year I discussed a 2008 participation in GSoC with some of you in
the community. I don't have a complete picture of what open source
openEHR projects and possible mentors there are out there and I have
not talked to people on the list (except myself and Rong) below, so
see it as a start with the possibility add or remove mentors and
project ideas:
* Tom Beale (or others from ocean) - Ocean-initiated open source tools
(ADL Workbench, .NET Archetype editor)...
* Rong Chen - openEHR Java reference implementation and related tools...
* Tim Cook - openEHR implementation in Python and related tools...
* Erik Sundvall - LiU Archetype editor v 2.0 w/template editing
(possibly web/flash-based),
* Erik Sundvall - Adding clients and/or server features to the LiU
REST based (java Restlets+XML Database) openEHR server/service
implementation
* Somebody from http://www.linkehr.com/ ?
I'd suggest that potential mentors list 1-5 project ideas each on the
newly created openEHR wiki-page...
http://www.openehr.org/wiki/display/dev/GSoC2008
...and that we'll link to that page in our application
Who will be best suited to fill out the application form? Tom Beale maybe?

I believe that we all could benefit from applying under the openEHR
"umbrella" since only about 130 mentor organisations were accepted
globally last year. I suggest the openEHR foundation would be the
official applicant and should receive a decent part (30%?) of the
mentoring USD 500 reimbursement for each accepted student before
passing the remaining of the money on to respective mentors.
Best regards,
Erik Sundvall
