GSOC 2010 isn't too far away anymore, quite close actually. I noticed that the list of current GSOC'10 ideas [1] is more or less the list of last year... As GSOC is a big chance for Gentoo to get real needs filled by people who actually have time (and no excuses ;-)) .. it is extra important in my eyes to have stuff in that list that really makes a difference to a larger group of people, i.e. any subset of Gentoo users and/or developers. Therefore I would like to start an extra round of brainstorming. Please ask yourself: 1. What current Gentoo-related projects of yours have "outsourcable" tasks to fill? 2. What other needs in Gentoo with need for manpower are "outsourcable" but not in the current list of ideas? A list of things I thought of can be found at the bottom of this mail. That list is the reason why you're all in CC, if you're still wondering: No please have a look at that list and talk back to us.
