[9fans] Plan 9 in Summer of Code 2013!

[9fans] Plan 9 in Summer of Code 2013!

[a]

Folks,

	We're in! Plan 9 has been accepted to participate in this year's
Summer of Code. This will be our fifth year participating, and as for
the past few, we'll be again serving as an umbrella organization for
the extended family of Plan 9 projects, including Inferno, Plan 9 from
User Space, and so on.

	I've filled in our profile on Melange (the webapp that Google uses
to run the program) so we're visible on the accepted-orgs list[1], but
I'm still going around updating various things, so (for example) the wiki
isn't updated yet. This should all be done shortly.

	So now the fun work starts. We need to get as many students as
we reasonably can interested in what we're doing and convinced that
working with us for a summer is a good plan (and, really, who could
argue with that?). More students yield more accepted projects, and
better ones to pick from.

	We could also still use more mentors and ideas, of course. The
ideas page[2] is still the correct place to submit those. Just follow the
format of the existing example and attach your name for any idea
(including existing ones) you'd be willing to mentor for. As a reminder,
putting your name there now is not a commitment to mentor any
particular proposal; we'll still evaluate those as they come in.

	The next big milestone is when student applications open on
April 22. Until then, come hang out in #plan9-gsoc or #plan9 on
irc.freenode.net if you're interested in answering student questions.

This is pretty exciting.
Anthony

Awesome, I'm glad that your hard work paid off. You deserve a lot of credit
for this.

Hello,

I’m Andrea, an Italian universitary student (2st years of Computer Science 
in “La Sapienza” Univesity of Rome). I am writing to find out more about 
the project “Write a basic Dis interpreter for web browsers in Dart”.

I found this project so interesting because combines Dart language (I 
discovered it few weeks ago but I love it for his sintax very similar to 
Java) and DIS. I didn’t know 9Plan and DIS until a few days ago but as soon 
as I read DIS specification (
http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/papers/dis.html) I found this project an 
exciting challenge.

The DIS virtual machine is an opportunity to work on that branch of 
computer science that I like most: Computer organization and design. 
Implement a virtual machine (with its instruction set very close to the 
machine language) in a high level, web oriented language should be *really 
fun*! Do not you think so? 
If possible I would like to receive more information on skill requirements 
in order to participate in this project. Any information, links or other 
documentation of DIS would be welcomed! 
P.S.: I'm still working on my english. If there is any error please forgive 
me: I'm debugging! :D
