              GSOC 2014 has been announced and currently, the

                style="font-size: 10pt;">According to previous year's
                Fedora Project ideas page, some Glusterfs projects have
                been listed there for a couple of years, but either no
                one ever chooses them, or their proposals are never

                as an independent organization on GSOC. Because, as an
                interested student, I think it's my duty to remind you
                about the approaching application deadline(which is just
                a couple of days away [1]).</span></div>

            <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>

            <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Gluster is already a
                very rich community with many vibrant and experienced
                developers. Plus this year, Google's accepting about 10%
                more organizations than usual. So, I think that Gluster
                has a very good chance of being selected. An ideas page
                from 2010 and the most recent one is already present at
                [2] and [3]. Some official guidance can be obtained from
                [4]. Also, Fedora project wiki can always be referred
                for a first hand example. If I can be of any help in
                this regard, please do contact me. :-)</span></div>
