Greg and comdev pmc, What is the process for raising our hand to want to participate in GSOC under the Foundation-wide application?
Do we need to get our project ideas listed somewhere prior to the GSOC org application deadline of Feb 19? Is there an equivalent of this page that's current for 2016? http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html <https://web.chilipiper.com/link/mifos.org/56c61625e4b02bbec5bbb4fc?link=aHR0cCUzQSUyRiUyRmNvbW11bml0eS5hcGFjaGUub3JnJTJGZ3NvYy5odG1s> Cheers, Ed On Sat, Jan 16, 2016 at 6:53 PM, Greg Stein <gst...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, Jan 15, 2016 at 7:47 AM, Markus Geiß <markus.ge...@live.de> wrote: > >... > > > Since we are in incubation now (Apache Fineract), I'm wondering how we > > will deal > > with this in the future.
