Hi all,

Apology if you have already seen this cross-posted on other lists.

Google sponsors students to write OpenSource code over the summer.
Even if you are not a software developer, you can help.

It is in your interest to help. A number of tools used to create WWP
art are OpenSource, e.g.

* hugin

<http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&amp;q=hugin+site%3Ageoimages.berkeley....>

* panotools

<http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&amp;q=panotools+site%3Ageoimages.berke...>

We have less than two weeks to apply as a mentoring organization.
Mentors and students have started chatting about the projects on the
developers list.

Our next hurdle is to be accredited by Google as a mentoring
organization. Every help/support/endorsement/community backing of the
mentoring organization is welcome.

To show support for the initiative, please log on to
<http://wiki.panotools.org/SoC2007_Supporters> and add your name to
the list of our supporters.

Work in progress, feel free to join the effort or just read to be in
the loop:
* Projects we'd like Google to sponsor:
<http://wiki.panotools.org/SoC2007_projects>
* Application text (deadline 5-12 mar 2007)
<http://wiki.panotools.org/SoC2007_application>
* Effort home page:
<http://wiki.panotools.org/Google_SoC_2007>

next deadline: 5-mar-2007 - apply for mentoring organization status
with Google's Open Source Programm Office.

thanks
Yuv
