[PD] Pd exhibition WAS: Google Summer of Code 2011

We have an exhibition setup, but it could use some nice formatting
from a webdev. I think the plone workflow is easy enough, someone
just needs to do the python/CSS to make the page look nice:

Then, of course, people should add more things to the exhibition.

I'm definitely interested and willing to help out. I will be a
student again starting in the fall, so I'd be eligible to work on it
next summer.

I think it's important to not only make a great application but also
define what we as a community and the project need to do in order to
support the application. This makes me think of things like: getting a list of universities, organizations, and individuals that
use pd (with links, logos, etc) expanding the PD showcase of projects made with pd (like the
Processing Exhibition) centralizing information: integrating the main pure-data.info wiki,
the source forge page, the pd forum, and this list in some way? sort
of a more cohesive web presence if that makes sense. Maybe this is
not practical ... a wiki section for externals with info and links for all major
libraries (including those in pd-extended)

Hello List:

I am interested in putting together an application for Pure Data to
participate in next year's Google Summer of Code event. The Summer
of Code is an event where students are matched with mentors to work
on various open-source projects, and are given a rather generous
stipend. More information can be found here: http://code.google.com/soc/

As an organization, Pure Data has applied to participate in GSoC
twice in the past and has been rejected. The reasons for rejection
are not clear to me, but Hans-Christoph Steiner, who has lead the
charge in the past, said that he thinks it is worth trying to
reapply. Here is a link to a previous application that was rejected: http://puredata.info/dev/summer-of-code

While perusing through the list of organizations that are
participating in 2010's Summer of Code, I couldn't help but notice
that many of them were tagged with application to Google's Android
OS. Since Pd can be ported to Android, it might be to our benefit
to point out Pd's possible application to developing mobile apps.

Alternatively, if nothing pans out for Pd in terms of GSoC (either
from rejection of an application or from a lack of interest) it was
suggested to me by Andy Farnell to seek alternative sponsorship
from possible benefactors such as Sun or EA.

Finally, I'd like to say upfront that I'm a University Student and
what originally got me interested in GSoC was the potential
prestige and stipend that would accompany participation. If some
sort of grant/sponsorship opportunity opens up, I fully intend on
applying for it. I ask that if at any point in time it seems as
though I am creating an unfair advantage for myself, that someone
please let me know.

I hope that as a community we can make something happen! Pat
