[Printing-architecture] Google Summer of Code 2008 - Mentors urgently needed

[Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>]

Hi,

there are still three project proposals on the list for which we do not 
have mentors:

1. PAPI integration in CUPS
2. JTAPI implementation (for this I have already a student, Lars 
Uebernickel, who currently works on the PDF-capable foomatic-rip 4.0)
3. texttopdf and pdftoijs CUPS filters for the PDF workflow

For the PAPI CUPS integration we also need a project description, 
perhaps also for the JTAPI implementation (to make the Linux Foundation 
more attractive for Google by listing more projects). Volunteers welcome.

Norm, what do you think about mentoring the PAPI CUPS integration?

Claudia, what do you think about mentoring the JTAPI
implementation?

Anyone volunteering for the CUPS filters? For texttopdf it would be 
great to have someone familiar with CJK text, so that the filter can 
also cover these text files? Anyone in Japan?

Note: One person can mentor more than one student.

See more about mentoring at http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html

And note that the application deadline is on March 12. To do the 
organization smoothly, please answer on Monday March 10 at the latest.
