Google Summer of Code, WordPress, and BuddyPress

I’m extremely pleased to announce (after weeks of keeping mum until the official word was released!) that I’ll be co-mentoring several projects for Google Summer of Code and WordPress. For those of you who don’t know, GSoC is an initiative by Google to support summer coding projects by undergraduate and graduate students working on various established open-source projects. WordPress has 15 projects this year, several of which are related to BuddyPress. As a mentor on two of the projects, I’ll be helping to hone the project scopes, do code reviews, and in general lend a hand where I can to my two mentees. Here they are:

I am very excited to get started working with these great students!

    Cool! The Courseware project intrigues me the most. I do agree with Stas’ post that Moodle is very ’90s, so it’ll be interesting to see how this project will integrate into BP.

    There’s always some good stuff going on with BP!
