Google Summer of Code 2008: Student Application Template

Use this template to apply for an Agavi project:

Name

Joe Cool, or whatever your name is.

Contact Information

E-Mail, IRC handle, IM details. We will ask for your phone number, but you don't have to post it publicly anywhere, of course.

Bio

A bit about yourself, prior (open source) development experience, academic and industry experience and details. Let us know if you have prior experience with Agavi/OO Programming/MVC etc

Your idea

Brief description, or the project you picked from the ideas list. Don't forget to mention the benefits to Agavi and some deliverables (i.e., what's the end results). If you'd like a specific mentor, absolutely need us to arrange for you to work on a space station to make your project work or whatever, let us know, too.

Motivation

Why you want to work on this project, and why you specifically would be the best choice.

Details

More details on your idea, or how you want to approach a project from the ideas list. Potentially as an external article, for instance here on the wiki (ask for an account on IRC!), since there's a 7500-or-so character limit on applications.

Methodologies

What's your development approach? How will you handle quality assurance? Stuff like this.

Schedule

An estimation of the time you need, a brief timeline with milestones, and, very important, info on when you can work on the project (and when not, due to vacations or whatever).
