Google Summer of Code
Here will be a collection of more helpful information for studens who wants to apply for a DeepaMehta project on the Google Summer of Code on Sunday or Monday 17th of March 08
There is a limit of mentoring capacity for this summer from my side, i think i am not able to spend more than 1 or 2 hours per day during the week to support the student or project teams in average. That would be about 30 to 60 hours per month, luckily i am still studying ;)
