I was wondering if there is anything equivalent to the Python Software
Foundation (http://www.python.org/psf/), that would be the nominal
sponsor for one or more students and people from the mailing list
could volunteer to mentor students interested in doing ruby based
projects. I have not been a (qualifying) student for a long time;
however, I would be more than willing to assist as a mentor.

There's Ruby Central (http://www.rubycentral.org). We didn't make it
in last year (the timing of the announcement and the deadline was very
tight...), but I'll follow up on this and hopefully we can do it this
year.

Some more Idea I had for which I would like some comments:
An mail module (thanks to who ever mentioned the need for this) that would extend the current mailread module:
This module would include some features inspired by the Python email library
some tools to search sort and filter mail
Anything else I should think off ?
A search engine for site build on rails;
Google is great but some local search engine could be cool.
A mail package built on rails.
Thanks for you help everyone.

I've just emailed Google expressing our interest. Assuming they
accept us, we'll be looking for mentors, so stay tuned.

Coool, but don't forget about students (i.e. people eligible to
participate) on this ML (btw how many of us are here?) - if there will
be some interesting Ruby/RoR tasks i would definitely like to take one!
Please keep us updated, send as many info as possible here! Thanks.
Cheers,
Peter
hmm... would I be considered a student or a mentor? 
Maybe I can mentor myself?

Why not create a page in rubycentral for register possibly mentors and
students and the points of interest?. It's just a suggestion

That is indeed interesting. I hope Ruby manages to be part of it. I

Good idea! Count me in 
Btw we (i.e. Ruby/RoR) are still not there,
while Python appeared a few days ago already...

Well, I have a couple of Rails (ActiveRecord, actually) pet peeves that
could be fixed. One is maintaining various data integrity constraints (e.g.
FOREIGN KEY constraints, UNIQUE constraints, etc.) in migrations. Another
is an ActiveRecord drop-in replacement that uses stored procedures with a
particular naming scheme for CRUD actions. Extra points for auto-generating
the stored procedures based on the table structure.

I'm in touch with the people organizing it; they have said that they
will put Ruby Central in and that they are looking forward to working
with us. So don't worry
I'll keep everyone posted as it progresses.

Well, to get some idea, here are the Google SOC 2005 Perl stuff:
http://www.perlfoundation.org/gc/grants/2005-googlesoc.html
and for python, this is even nicer since it has the outcome of the
accepted projects:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2005
similarly you can look up other accepted projects as well.
btw a nice kind-of-howto page about SOC 2005:

I'm also eligible, and this is right up my ally. Would love to get involved. I'm very intently keeping up with this thread for neat ideas, so any others would be appreciated.

Excellent, last week I have added rubycentral and yourself as the contact in
the list of mentoring organization, in order to avoid the problem you had
last year.

I have submitted to Google.
In case they do not accept us,
here is what we want to mentor.
Most ( if not all of this would be written in Ruby )
I would like to apply on behalf of Cinternational to be a
mentor for the Summer of Code 2006.
Cinternational would like to sponsor open source code
in following area : Virtual test instruments.
the project name would be MultiAnalyser
some work on this has been done at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MultiAnalyser/
this project is a combination of hardware and software.
( all open source )
The mentors at this point would be Gus S. Calabrese, Gary (Rod )
Rodriguez and Bill Goodrich. I am certain I could get more mentors
from developers I know on the PIClist.
the software projects would be:
1] Development of FPGA code to collect analog data at high speed
and relay back to Host via USB 2.0.
2] Development of FPGA code to collect analog data at high speed
and relay back to Host via PCI express.
3] Development of multi-platform framework ( Linux, OS X, Windows )
to support a variety of virtual instruments.
4] Development of a virtual DSO ( digital storage oscilloscope ) multi-platform
5] Development of a virtual LA ( Logic Analyzer ) multi-platform
6] Development of a virtual Datascope ( serial communications analysis )
7] Development of a virtual DMM ( digital multimeter )
8] Projects the student may submit in the virtual instrument area

Gus S. Calabrese
