[Systers-dev] [GSOC] Introduction/Application: Douglas Soares de Andrade

[Kathy Richardson]

Hi Douglas,

The way to jump in and understand what is happening and apply for the 
GSOC is to follow the application process.  And then using this list to 
ask questions on pieces you need advise with.  We are happy to have male 
  contributers who believe in the mission.

You will officially apply through the SOC site: 
http://socghop.appspot.com/site/home/site

All of the systers application and development/setup information is 
available at:  http://systers.org/wiki  GSOC 2010  We are still tweaking 
the project descriptions, but they are a good base set.

Start trying to set it up and look at the code.
It will give you a real concrete idea of what exactly Kanika is trying 
to wrap in a bundle, and which project you would like to apply for.

-Kathy
