I will be speaking at University of Tennessee at Chattanooga this
Friday<br>
so am thrilled to be able to include information on GSOC. :)<br>

2013 [1]. Yay!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
If you would like to help spread the word about GSoC, we have
presentations [2], logos [3], and flyers [4] for you to use.
Please host meetups, tell your friends and colleagues about the
program, go to conferences, talk to people about the program,
and just generally do all the awesome word-of-mouth stuff you do
every year to promote the program.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
The GSoC calendar, FAQ, and events timeline have all been
updated with this year's important dates, so please refer to
those for the milestones for this year's program. NB: the normal
timeline for the program has been modified for this year. You'll
probably want to examine the dates closely to make sure you know
when important things are happening.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
Please consider translating the presentations and/or flyers into
your native language and submitting them directly to me to post
on the wiki. Localization for our material is integral to
reaching the widest possible audience around the world. If you
decide to translate a flyer, please fill out our form to request
a thank you gift for your effort. [5]<br>
<br>
If you decide to host a meetup, please email me to let me know
the date, time, and location so I can put it on the GSoC
calendar. Also, remember to take pictures at your meetup and
write up a blog post for our blog using our provided template
for formatting [6]. If you need promotional items for your
attendees, please fill out our form [7] to request some; we're
happy to send some along. We can provide up to about 25 pens,
notebooks, or stickers and/or a few t-shirts. Please keep in
mind, though, that shipping restrictions and timeline vary
country-to-country; request items early to make sure they get
there on time! If you have questions about hosting meetups,
please see the section in our FAQ [8].<br>
