Is ‘SDL’ planning on becoming a google summer of code organisation?

Pygame(SDL in the python language) is planning on being one, but it’d
be cool if students were working on SDL projects too :slight_smile:

The deadline for mentor applications is very soon
March 12: Mentoring organization application deadline (12 noon PDT/19:00 UTC).

Here’s more information:

That’s a great idea. I’m going to check on the tax implications tomorrow
and draft a list of project ideas and sign SDL up. :slight_smile:

Hi Sam,
Can you post what you find out about the tax implications. I am
curious about what you find out (been thinking of applying too.) Is
SDL already a formal (tax) organization of some kind? What did it cost
to set this up?

Thanks,
