Summer of Code 2008 Planning

SESSION OVERVIEW
Summer of Code 2008 was just announced. Hooray! Since most of the smartest people in Drupal will be at Drupalcon, let’s find a corner to meet for an hour to get on the same page so we can make this program a shining success. :)

AGENDA
* Compile list of folks interested in mentoring, and if so, in what areas
* Brainstorm some SoC project proposals for students to claim
* Identify holes in our getting started documentation
* Discuss strategies for managing students/mentors/projects
* Prepare SoC mentor organization application

GOALS
We’ll try and come away with a few solid project proposal ideas, as well as some overall strategy for better management of SoC this year.
