+<h2>Tor: Google Summer of Code 2008</h2>
+<hr />
+
+<p>
+Last year in 2007, The Tor Project in collaboration with <a
+href="https://www.eff.org/">The Electronic Frontier Foundation</a>
+successfully took part in <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/">Google
+Summer of Code 2007</a>. In total we had four students as full-time
+developers for the summer of 2007.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Google has announced that there will also be a <a
+href="http://code.google.com/soc/">Google Summer of Code 2008</a>,
+and we are going to apply quite soon. A list of accepted mentoring
+organizations will be published by Google on March 17. In the meantime,
+this page contains some information for interested students in hopes
+that our application will be accepted.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The deadline for your application is <b>March 31, 2008</b> at 5pm
+Pacific time.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You must be self-motivated and able to work independently. We have
+a thriving community of interested developers on the IRC channel and
+mailing lists, and we're eager to work with you, brainstorm about design,
+and so on, but you need to be able to manage your own time, and you
+need to already be familiar with how free software development on the
+Internet works.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Working on Tor is rewarding because:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>You can work your own hours in your own locations. As long as you
+get the job done, we don't care about the process.</li>
+<li>We only write free (open source) software. The tools you make won't
+be locked down or rot on a shelf.</li>
+<li>You will work with a world-class team of anonymity experts and
+developers on what is already the largest and most active strong anonymity
+network ever.</li>
+<li>The work you do could contribute to academic publications --
+Tor development raises many open questions and interesting problems
+in the field of <a href="http://freehaven.net/anonbib/">anonymity
+systems</a>.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<a id="Template"></a>
+
+<p>
+Please use the following template for your application, to make sure you
+provide enough information for us to evaluate you and your proposal.
+</p>
+
+<ol>
+
+<li>What project would you like to work on? Use
+<a href="<page volunteer>#Projects">this list</a>
+for ideas or make up your own. Your proposal should include high-level
+descriptions of what you're going to do, with more details about the
+parts you expect to be tricky. Your proposal should also try to break
+down the project into tasks of a fairly fine granularity, and convince
+us you have a plan for finishing it.</li>
+
+<li>Point us to a code sample: something good and clean to demonstrate
+that you know what you're doing, ideally from an existing project.</li>
+
+<li>Why do you want to work with The Tor Project in particular?</li>
+
+<li>Tell us about your experiences in free software development
+environments. We especially want to hear examples of how you have
+collaborated with others rather than just working on a project by
+yourself.</li>
+
+<li>Will you be working full-time on the project for the summer, or will
+you have other commitments too (a second job, classes, etc)? If you won't
+be available full-time, please explain, and list timing if you know them
+for other major deadlines (e.g. exams). Having other activities isn't
+a deal-breaker, but not knowing is bad.</li>
+
+<li>Will your project need more work and/or maintenance after the summer
+ends? What are the chances you will stick around and help out with that
+and other related projects?</li>
+
+<li>What is your ideal approach to keeping everybody informed of your
+progress, problems, and questions over the course of the project? Said
+another way, how much of a "manager" will you need your mentor to be?</li>
+
+<li>What school are you attending? What year are you, and what's your
+major/degree/focus? If you're part of a research group, which one?</li>
+
+<li>Is there anything else we should know that will make us like your
+project more?</li>
+
+</ol>
+
+<p>
+We have picked out eleven mentors for this year &mdash; most of the
+people on the <a href="<page people>#Core">core Tor development team</a>
+&mdash; so we should be able to accommodate a wide variety of projects,
+ranging from work on Tor itself to work on supporting or peripheral
+projects. We can figure out which mentor is appropriate while we're
+discussing the project you have in mind. We hope to assign a primary
+mentor to each student, along with one or two assistant mentors to help
+answer questions and help you integrate with the broader Tor community.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you're interested, you can either contact the <a href="<page
+contact>">tor-assistants list</a> with a brief summary of your proposal
+and we'll give you feedback, or just jump right in and post your ideas
+and goals to the <a href="<page documentation>#MailingLists">or-talk
+mailing list</a>. Make sure to be responsive during the application
+selection period; if we like your application but you never answer our
+mails asking for more information, that's not a good sign.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The more applications we get, the more likely Google is to give us good
+students. So if you haven't filled up your summer plans yet, please
+consider spending some time working with us to make Tor better!
+</p>
