+<p> |
|
| 12 |
+Last year in 2007, The Tor Project in collaboration with <a |
|
| 13 |
+href="https://www.eff.org/">The Electronic Frontier Foundation</a> |
|
| 14 |
+successfully took part in <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/">Google |
|
| 15 |
+Summer of Code 2007</a>. In total we had four students as full-time |
|
| 16 |
+developers for the summer of 2007. |
|
| 17 |
+</p> |
|
| 18 |
+ |
|
| 19 |
+<p> |
|
| 20 |
+Google has announced that there will also be a <a |
|
| 21 |
+href="http://code.google.com/soc/">Google Summer of Code 2008</a>, |
|
| 22 |
+and we are going to apply quite soon. A list of accepted mentoring |
|
| 23 |
+organizations will be published by Google on March 17. In the meantime, |
|
| 24 |
+this page contains some information for interested students in hopes |
|
| 25 |
+that our application will be accepted. |
|
| 26 |
+</p> |
|
| 27 |
+ |
|
| 28 |
+<p> |
|
| 29 |
+The deadline for your application is <b>March 31, 2008</b> at 5pm |
|
| 30 |
+Pacific time. |
|
| 31 |
+</p> |
|
| 32 |
+ |
|
| 33 |
+<p> |
|
| 34 |
+You must be self-motivated and able to work independently. We have |
|
| 35 |
+a thriving community of interested developers on the IRC channel and |
|
| 36 |
+mailing lists, and we're eager to work with you, brainstorm about design, |
|
| 37 |
+and so on, but you need to be able to manage your own time, and you |
|
| 38 |
+need to already be familiar with how free software development on the |
|
| 39 |
+Internet works. |
|
| 40 |
+</p> |
|
| 41 |
+ |
|
| 42 |
+<p> |
|
| 43 |
+Working on Tor is rewarding because: |
|
| 44 |
+</p> |
|
| 45 |
+ |
|
| 46 |
+<ul> |
|
| 47 |
+<li>You can work your own hours in your own locations. As long as you |
|
| 48 |
+get the job done, we don't care about the process.</li> |
|
| 49 |
+<li>We only write free (open source) software. The tools you make won't |
|
| 50 |
+be locked down or rot on a shelf.</li> |
|
| 51 |
+<li>You will work with a world-class team of anonymity experts and |
|
| 52 |
+developers on what is already the largest and most active strong anonymity |
|
| 53 |
+network ever.</li> |
|
| 54 |
+<li>The work you do could contribute to academic publications -- |
|
| 55 |
+Tor development raises many open questions and interesting problems |
|
| 56 |
+in the field of <a href="http://freehaven.net/anonbib/">anonymity |
|
| 57 |
+systems</a>.</li> |
|
| 58 |
+</ul> |
|

+<a id="Template"></a> |
|
| 61 |
+ |
|
| 62 |
+<p> |
|
| 63 |
+Please use the following template for your application, to make sure you |
|
| 64 |
+provide enough information for us to evaluate you and your proposal. |
|
| 65 |
+</p> |
|
| 66 |
+ |
|
| 67 |
+<ol> |
|
| 68 |
+ |
|
| 69 |
+<li>What project would you like to work on? Use |
|
| 70 |
+<a href="<page volunteer>#Projects">this list</a> |
|
| 71 |
+for ideas or make up your own. Your proposal should include high-level |
|
| 72 |
+descriptions of what you're going to do, with more details about the |
|
| 73 |
+parts you expect to be tricky. Your proposal should also try to break |
|
| 74 |
+down the project into tasks of a fairly fine granularity, and convince |
|
| 75 |
+us you have a plan for finishing it.</li> |
|
| 76 |
+ |
|
| 77 |
+<li>Point us to a code sample: something good and clean to demonstrate |
|
| 78 |
+that you know what you're doing, ideally from an existing project.</li> |
|
| 79 |
+ |
|
| 80 |
+<li>Why do you want to work with The Tor Project in particular?</li> |
|
| 81 |
+ |
|
| 82 |
+<li>Tell us about your experiences in free software development |
|
| 83 |
+environments. We especially want to hear examples of how you have |
|
| 84 |
+collaborated with others rather than just working on a project by |
|
| 85 |
+yourself.</li> |
|
| 86 |
+ |
|
| 87 |
+<li>Will you be working full-time on the project for the summer, or will |
|
| 88 |
+you have other commitments too (a second job, classes, etc)? If you won't |
|
| 89 |
+be available full-time, please explain, and list timing if you know them |
|
| 90 |
+for other major deadlines (e.g. exams). Having other activities isn't |
|
| 91 |
+a deal-breaker, but not knowing is bad.</li> |
|
| 92 |
+ |
|
| 93 |
+<li>Will your project need more work and/or maintenance after the summer |
|
| 94 |
+ends? What are the chances you will stick around and help out with that |
|
| 95 |
+and other related projects?</li> |
|
| 96 |
+ |
|
| 97 |
+<li>What is your ideal approach to keeping everybody informed of your |
|
| 98 |
+progress, problems, and questions over the course of the project? Said |
|
| 99 |
+another way, how much of a "manager" will you need your mentor to be?</li> |
|
| 100 |
+ |
|
| 101 |
+<li>What school are you attending? What year are you, and what's your |
|
| 102 |
+major/degree/focus? If you're part of a research group, which one?</li> |
|
| 103 |
+ |
|
| 104 |
+<li>Is there anything else we should know that will make us like your |
|
| 105 |
+project more?</li> |
|
| 106 |
+ |
|
| 107 |
+</ol> |
|
| 108 |

+<p> |
|
| 110 |
+We have picked out eleven mentors for this year — most of the |
|
| 111 |
+people on the <a href="<page people>#Core">core Tor development team</a> |
|
| 112 |
+— so we should be able to accommodate a wide variety of projects, |
|
| 113 |
+ranging from work on Tor itself to work on supporting or peripheral |
|
| 114 |
+projects. We can figure out which mentor is appropriate while we're |
|
| 115 |
+discussing the project you have in mind. We hope to assign a primary |
|
| 116 |
+mentor to each student, along with one or two assistant mentors to help |
|
| 117 |
+answer questions and help you integrate with the broader Tor community. |
|
| 118 |
+</p> |
|
| 119 |
+ |
|
| 120 |
+<p> |
|
| 121 |
+If you're interested, you can either contact the <a href="<page |
|
| 122 |
+contact>">tor-assistants list</a> with a brief summary of your proposal |
|
| 123 |
+and we'll give you feedback, or just jump right in and post your ideas |
|
| 124 |
+and goals to the <a href="<page documentation>#MailingLists">or-talk |
|
| 125 |
+mailing list</a>. Make sure to be responsive during the application |
|
| 126 |
+selection period; if we like your application but you never answer our |
|
| 127 |
+mails asking for more information, that's not a good sign. |
|
| 128 |
+</p> |
|
| 129 |
+ |
|
| 130 |
+<p> |
|
| 131 |
+The more applications we get, the more likely Google is to give us good |
|
| 132 |
+students. So if you haven't filled up your summer plans yet, please |
|
| 133 |
+consider spending some time working with us to make Tor better! |
