Hi,
as you might have already seen, the Google Summer of Code 2010 is coming
and the PSF will apply as mentoring organisation again this year.
Taking up the ball, I think, it would be great to have another Google
Summer of Code for Pygame.
Since we had a good success with the last ones and all mentees did a
great job so far, with lots of new stuff being contributed and quite
some fun, it would be nice to participate again.
I'll be definitely up for mentoring this year (with less time to spend,
but even more motivation :-), though I personally would not want to have
Pygame trying to apply as own organisation this year. We failed last
year and Arc Riley from the PSF did a great job to manage anything for
participating projects under the PSF umbrella. It is more likely that
we will participate successfully with the PSF, especially since we would
have more time to manage the student's work, which otherwise would have
to be spent on administering.
Anyways, volunteers, students, interested mentors, core devs and anyone
else, get ready, fasten your seat belt and bring up your own ideas to
have another great coding season.
Interested students can find the ideas page for pygame as well as more
information regarding the summer of code in the pygame wiki:

The ideas are only ideas, not guidelines to what will be accepted. If
you have an own idea for Pygame, feel free to post it to the mailing
list and let's discuss it.
Regards
Marcus
