Hey Pierre,
I meant more of a reminder rather than discussion being sent to devel (or
devel-announce, as you said..) if we are trying to catch more people.
And yeah the deadline has really bad timing with devconf and fosdem... >_<
If anyone wants to help reviewing the wiki pages for what's possibly
invalid, you're welcome to, but please lets move the organization related
conversation into summer-coding mailing list maybe...
Best regards,
Radka

I was referring to this email:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@lists.
fedoraproject.org/message/MNQRF2BY7ZB42BWG7M2DVUMYUTDFFHCO/
which was sent as a reply to Corey's email.

misunderstood clearly but hate I would assure there are none on my part. I
would
even be curious to know what made you think so, so that I can, in the
future,
avoid giving that impression again.
This entire discussion has (on my side) merely been trying to understand
your
emails with the limited info that I have.

I can't reply for Corey who wrote the original email but I would guess he
tried
to give an heads-up to people who contributed to GSoC last year, try to
see if
they are thinking about GSoC already.
To give an example, if it hadn't been for Corey I would have had no idea
that
the dead-line for GSoC subject proposals was that close, GSoC is a summer
program in my head and we're at the beginning of February so it was really
not
in my calendar as something to think about right now.
Devel is not necessarily the best place for these types of discussion
because
not everyone is subscribed or follows carefuly the list and also because
devel
talks about a lot of subjects that would not (imho) result is GSoC
subjects.
devel-announce would be a better place imho as it's lower traffic and thus
likely raises more attention (and hopefully reaches more of our
sub-projects).
Hoping this clarifies a little bit the situation,
Pierre
