2011-03-21T14:11:22 <kstreith2> Opticks is participating under the OSGeo Foundation umbrella
2011-03-21T14:12:02 <kstreith2> so, expect to see students on IRC and the mailing list the next couple of weeks, discussing project ideas
2011-03-21T14:12:24 <kstreith2> I know that the 4 mentors and 2 students we had last year enjoyed the experience
2011-03-21T14:12:47 <kstreith2> I've talked to all 4 mentors from last year and all are excited to participate again this year
2011-03-21T14:13:04 <kstreith2> that's all I have for Google Summer of Code
2011-03-21T14:13:31 <kstreith2> the floor is now open for other discussions
2011-03-21T14:15:45 <kstreith2> i'm working on the 4.6.0 release now
2011-03-21T14:16:04 <kstreith2> the release will be put out later today
2011-03-21T14:16:19 <kstreith2> of particular interest to Google Summer of Code students is the following:
2011-03-21T14:16:43 <kstreith2> 4.6.0 uses Visual Studio 2010 on Windows
2011-03-21T14:17:18 <kstreith2> 4.6.0 includes pre-built dependencies for Ubuntu 10.04 (the last LTS Ubuntu release)
2011-03-21T14:17:44 <kstreith2> both of these should make it easier for students to get up and running on either Windows or Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit Ubuntu only)
2011-03-21T14:17:57 <kstreith2> that's it for the 4.6.0 release
2011-03-21T14:18:10 <kstreith2> anyone have anything else?
2011-03-21T14:19:05 <vivekyadav_> yes

2011-03-21T14:21:11 <vivekyadav_> probably write an extension
2011-03-21T14:21:36 <vivekyadav_> so I was wondering if there is anything else i should do
