Hi ruby-core,
=
Ruby (via RubyCentral) has been accepted as a Google Summer = of Code 2015 mentoring organization:


We are loo= king for interesting open source Ruby projects that interested students can= work on this summer. One very important project for Ruby is MRI!

We are very interested in what ruby-core has to say about t= he following:

- Ideas: There is a Google Summer of= Code Ideas list where we are tracking potential projects. We have posted s= ome ideas for MRI on it, but I'm sure you have many more:

- Advice: For MRI projects, we are really interested in ones that a= ctually have the potential of being merged into MRI. We do not want to make= students work on a project that ruby-core thinks is a bad idea, because th= at just wastes everyone's time. If you have any critique of the existin= g ideas on the list and think certain ideas are bad and will be rejected fr= om MRI, it would be great to know sooner than later.

- Mentors: If anyone from ruby-core is willing to mentor students, that = would be great. Many of these projects require expert-level contributions t= hat only members of ruby-core can potentially provide. We also think that i= f ruby-core mentors the projects, it will improve the chances of these proj= ects actually being merged into MRI.

- Students: L= ast but certainly not least, we are looking for interested students to part= icipate in the Ruby Google Summer of Code organization. I am guessing some = of you know some interested students who might be interested in participati= ng, so if you can help recruit them, that'd be great!
Just as an example, we have a student who is interested in wor= king on a JIT for MRI/YARV based on LuaJIT. This seems like a project we wo= uldn't accept without an expert-level mentor, and perhaps there is some= one on ruby-core willing to work with him:
