Welcome and congratulations!

Hi all,

Welcome and congratulations to all students who were accepted to work on
GNOME for their Summer of Code! We hope you'll love working on GNOME :-)

Some random notes first, before I forget:

 + this list will be used for discussion between students, mentors and
   administrators. If you have a question, don't hesitate and ask!

 + we have a Planet GNOME Summer of Code:
     http://planet.gnome.org/soc2006/
   I tried to bootstrap it with all the students' blog I found. If
   you're not there or if you don't have a hackergotchi and want one,
   send me a mail with the URL of your blog and/or your hackergotchi!

 + you can join the #soc channel on irc.gnome.org if you want to chat
   with other students or mentors. This is our channel, so feel free to
   have meetings there, etc.

 + Google is making the accepted projects public. If you have some
   private stuff in your applications, tell us. We'll make it editable
   so you can remove the private stuff.

As a good first step, we'd like you to put your project on the GNOME
wiki. Some students already did it. See
  http://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2006
This page also contains the list of projects, students and mentors. If
your mentor didn't contact you yet, feel free to contact him :-)

It would be great if you could also put a link to the repository where
you intend to put your code, so other people can look at it. It can
either be in GNOME CVS (if you have an account), a simple webpage, or
something like a bzr/git/arch/etc branch.

I nearly forgot about this: if you're interested to meet GNOME people,
you might want to consider coming to GUADEC! There's nothing official
right now, but you might get some financial help if you're interested:
see http://mail.gnome.org/archives/guadec-list/2006-May/msg00309.html

I guess that's all for now. You can start doing some awesome work!

Vincent
