The link to sign up to this mailing list is here: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/soc2015-general Our IRC channel is here: #python-gsoc on Freenode Please remember that it's still a bit early. As org admin for Python, I've been preparing for months (as have my co org admins Meflin and Florian) but many orgs are only just figuring out their mentors' schedules and starting to put up ideas. Now is a good time to read documentation, set up your development environment and fix your first few bugs, but don't expect huge lists of project ideas until the org application deadline on Feb 20th. We won't know if Python has been selected as a mentoring organization until Google's announcement on March 2nd.

As a part of GSoC 2015 program i would like to do the project under Python Software Foundation. It will be a great learning experience under PSF mentors. I have learned Java and Python and i am a Beginner in Python and have started to contribute to PSF Projects. Are there projects in GSoC 2015 in Python where beginners in the language as me can do the projects or experience programmers are only allowed. Thanks
