Ask HN: Help writting a Google Summer of Code application
I was planning to do an internship this summer in a startup in the US, but they changed their minds. So with no that much time before summer, I guess my best option to land in an internship is Google Summer of Code. I had participated twice in GSoC, but I only have one week to prepare an application.
I wonder if any HN fellas with experience in any of these topics can help me developing any idea that he would like to see implemented in any of the projects below, or reviewing my proposals before submitting them.
These are a bunch of organization that I would like to apply to.
- Django Software Foundation.

- Python Software Foundation
- Ideas, http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2011

- JoshCole 16y agoAs a fellow Hacker News user I am stunned by just how much overlap their was in our short list of places we are interested in applying. I deeply considered Python, Django, Sunlight labs, and Sencha labs. I ended up applying for Sencha Labs. I might send in a back-up application to Sunlight Labs. My first choice organization was LispNYC, but they didn't get accepted.
- gsoc2011 16y agoI was looking to apply to Chrome (were I worked last summer) but It didn't get accepted neither. Did you pick up one of their ideas or did you wrote your own? Good luck.

- JoshCole 16y agoI picked one of their ideas. My goal was to find a project that would allow me to learn and I think I'll have a lot of opportunity to do that.
