[GSoC] GSoC coding period starts next Monday

[Robert Buels]

Hi all,

The coding period for Google Summer of Code starts this coming Monday.  
Each mentor-student group should be pretty well organized by now, and 
know exactly what they're going to be doing next week.

Each group needs to make sure they have the following in place:

1. Good lines of communication between students and mentors, including 
plans for regular chat or phone meetings.

2. The student needs to have their development environment set up and 
ready to go, so that they'll be ready to be productive from day 1.  Get 
the necessary software, version control checkouts, data sets, and so 
forth.  Don't leave this until the last minute, setting up a development 
environment can be tricky!

3. The student needs to have their blog/wiki/other set up for public 
reports of the project's progress.  Please send the URLs for these to 
me, and I'll construct a page on the OBF GSoC wiki with links to them.

Here's to a fun and productive summer of code!

Best wishes,

Rob
