Hi!
Freifunk has been accepted to Google Summer of Code this year again.
GSoC is Google's program where students can get around $5000 for work on
an open source project over the summer. Freifunk serves as an umbrella
organization for many mesh/community networks/projects.
Maybe you have some ideas what students could work on? If so, consider
adding them to existing list:
https://projects.freifunk.net/
(PRs:
https://github.com/freifunk/projects.freifunk.net-contents)
Maybe some of existing ideas would be something you would also care
about: maybe find a mentor from your network and volunteer to help guide
the student.
Or, maybe some of you are students who are already involved with the
project. This is also great: you could work through Google Summer of
Code this summer.
