If you are a student interested in participating (or just curious :-) ), see our list of [[project_ideas]]. Suggestions for other interesting projects are welcome too of course :-) Student application period starts Monday, 2008-03-24. You might want to take a look at the draft for the [[application_template|student_application_form]] to see what is awaiting you. Also, if none of the GNU Hurd project proposals appeals to you, feel invited to have a look at the [GNU-wide list](http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas.html). ## History 2006 and 2007 we participated in GSoC under the umbrealla of the GNU project, getting one slot each year.
