All, I'm happy to announce ROS-Industrial will be participating in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ ) under the Open Source Robotics Foundation (OSRF) umbrella. GSoC is a great way for students to participate in open source projects and get paid. It's also a great way for an open source project to get some work done and grow their communities. ROS-Industrial has had several successful GSoC projects in the past and many of the students continue on as members of our community. If you are an interested student, or know of one, please check out our idea page: (http://wiki.osrfoundation.org/gsoc16 ) . Students have until 3/25 to submit proposals against these ideas to GSoC. More details on the timeline can be found here: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline . I would encourage students who want to propose to reach out (swri-ros-pkg-dev@googlegroups.com )with any questions or ideas they might have about suggested projects.
