# 2011

This year we're again planning to participate in [Google Summer of
Code](http://socghop.appspot.com) under the GNU umbrella.


## Applying for a Task

We always ask students that want to apply for a task (in the course of the
Google Summer of Code) to mind our distinct [[student_application_form]].

We have a list of [[project_ideas]], and students are likewise encouraged to
submit their own project proposals.

The Google Summer of Code 2011 has not yet started; we will later announce the
beginning of the students' application phase.  However, working on one of these
projects is still a good opportunity to get started with Hurd development, even
outside of the GSoC context.

Please read up about [[contributing]] in general;
and feel free to ask any questions you might have at one of our [[regular_IRC_meetings|IRC#regular_meetings]].
Generally it's a good idea to [[contact_us|communication]] when starting to work on some project.


# History

In 2006 and [[2007]], we participated in GSoC under the umbrella of the GNU
project,
getting one slot each year.

In the following year, we successfully participated on our own, not only as a
suborganization of the GNU
project.  Read about our five students' success on the [[2008]] page.

The next two year, we participated under the GNU umbrella with one slot in
[[2009]], and three in [[2010]].
