[Soc2015-general] Fwd: gsoc15 Project Proposal

[Terri Oda]

Each sub-org is different, but most will consider your projects ideas if 
you're willing to take time to explain them and work closely with the 
mentors to make sure they fit the needs of the organization.  This 
sometimes means your ideas will need to be modified or adapted.  You 
should talk to the mentors to see if they're interested before spending 
time writing up a full application.

Please note that "fitting the needs of the organization" is the 
important thing here.  Sometimes students come up with great ideas that 
are a perfect fit, but sometimes your vision for a neat idea isn't going 
to match up with where the organization needs to allocate its resources, 
and you'll be hurting your chances of acceptance if you keep pushing for 
something the project doesn't want.  If you can't find a way to make 
your idea fit the needs of the project, you should propose another idea 
or work on one that they've already determined meets their needs.
