Venue: LNEC Congress Center (room TBA), Av. do Brasil, 101, Lisbon Portugal Sponsors: This event is made possible by the generous support of: Sahana Software Foundation a 2011 Google Summer of Code Mentoring Organization The Sahana Software Foundation has been selected as a mentoring organization for the 2011 Google Summer of Code. We are thrilled to be selected again to participate in such a great program that helps bring new developers into open source projects. The Sahana Software Foundation has benefited greatly from participating in the Google Summer of Code since 2006. It is an important and successful part of our community development programs. In this time, GSOC students have become core contributors as well as members of our project management committees, members of our foundation, and even serve on our board of directors. Historically, 23 of our 43 GSOC students have stayed involved with the Sahana Software Foundation for at least one year after their GSOC internship ended, many for much longer. We hope to continue in the successes that we have had in building good code and bringing in new community members to our organization through the Google Summer of Code program. Please visit our main 2011 GSOC page on our wiki for more information which includes links to our ideas page, student guidelines and mentor responsibilities and for more information about why you should submit an application to be a GSOC student with the Sahana Software Foundation this year. Interested Students: If you are a student who is interested in participating in the GSoC this year, we would encourage you to review our ideas pages and our student guidelines on the Sahana Wiki. Once you have reviewed that information, we invite you to discuss any ideas that you may have on the Sahana developers mailing list or via IRC (#sahana on Freenode). See our Sahana chat page for more information. Students who take the opportunity to discuss their ideas with the Sahana development team will definitely have an easier time pulling together quality proposals. We'd like all students to submit a patch for a bug fix or simple feature enhancement as part of the application process; you should work with a mentor for the project idea you intend to apply for to identify an appropriate one for you to work on for your patch. Interested Mentors: If you are an active Sahana Contributor and would like to be involved in the GSoC as a mentor, please send an e-mail to gsoc@sahanafoundation.org. Former Sahana GSOC students are always encouraged to serve as mentors.

Sahana Software Foundation Google Code-In Wrap-Up The Sahana Software Foundation was proud to be one of the mentoring organizations in the 2010-11 Google Code-In (or GCI), which is Google's contest to introduce pre-university students to the many kinds of contributions that make open source software development possible. The GCI contest ended on January 10, 2010. Grand prize winners will be announced on February 14, and we expect that several of the winners will have contributed to the completion of tasks for the Sahana Software Foundation. We congratulate all participants and thank them for their contributions. We also want to thank Google for continuing to provide opportunities for students of all ages to learn about and contribute to open source projects like those of the Sahana Software Foundation. A wrap-up of our experiences can be found on the Sahana Situation Room blog in two parts: SSF and GCI: Exhausting but Rewarding SSF and GCI Part 2: Lessons Learned from the Google Code-In Sahana Agasti 0.6.6 Released Version 0.6.6 of Sahana Agasti has been released and is available for download on the Sahana Agasti launchpad site to address multiple security vulnerabilities.
