[Haskell-cafe] Google Summer of Code 2012 Announced

[Thomas Schilling]

As Heinrich said, write a proposal.  It's a good idea to write one (or
more) before the actual deadline since that will leave enough time for
discussion.  The proposal is not just between you and the mentors -- it's a
good thing to have a public discussion about this, and it's a good way to
find a mentor for you.
