hi,

i am a mentor at FOSSASIA which has been accepted as a mentor organisation for VALS Semester of Code.

You can read more about this program at http://semesterofcode.com/ and http://vps2.semesterofcode.com

One of the projects i am proposing is to build pike packages for all major linux distributions. This may not be much for a 3 month project, but i expect the student to work on submitting the packages, so they not only need to run, but follow the distributions requirements.

I'd like to invite pike developers to join me as mentors for this project, and also offer you to mentor other pike related projects.

Registration for mentors is by invitation, so if you are able to mentor projects please send me an email with details about projects you would like to mentor.

We only have a short time to register mentors and list projects, so please reply as soon as you can.

The name of the project Describe the project At a minimum, please include the expected outcome of the project, a potential mentor, the skills and/or languages required to complete the project, and a general "difficulty" level. The project should take about 3 months to complete. Please bear in mind that it's better to start with a smaller project that can be extended if your student proves to be capable rather than have an over-ambitious idea which can't be completed in time. The url of this project This could be for example a link to a bug tracker issue or google doc that describes the project idea. Some tags to facilitate searching (Delimited by comma i.e. php, javascript, html)

greetings, martin.
