[Haskell-cafe] Google Summer of Code 2012 Announced

[Andrei Varanovich]

Hi all,

One question to more experienced GSoC'ers. I do understand that this is
important to find mentors in advance.
As soon as I think nowadays it is critical for the programming language
ecosystem to handle BigData [1], have a proposal to implement HDFS [1]
support for CloudHaskell [2] with some MapReduce abstractions.

What would be the "right" way to communicate with potential mentors? I
looked at http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ and it seems
there is not so much going on there. Or, perhaps, this mailing list is just
OK?

Thanks,
Andrei
