Google Summer of Code 2007: GNOME posters - Vincent

Michael: I believe people will understand that it's about computer science and not about being a computer science student. It's a quick way to know what the poster is about. I hope student who could apply for SoC but are not studying computer science won't be put off by this (and I think they won't). That's a good point to keep in memory for future posters, though.

Anonymous: Máirín is okay, so feel free to do so :-)

Joe: that's true (well, I don't think they look Northern European, but they certainly don't look Japanese). I'm not sure this is a real problem, though. But another good point for future posters. Localization is hard.

You've translated the text, but you might want to translate the picture: your young man and woman look Northern European. They don't look Arabic, Greek, Korean, Macedonian or Spanish.

Do you have any problem with people using this flyer as a basis for SoC promotion of other projects? The flyer seems quite impressively done, and I'd love to edit it somewhat for my university as a mentoring organization.

Thank you.

Do you only want "computer science" students? There have been a lot of successful students in SoC, myself included, who don't fall into this category. You might be putting potential applicants off.

Mary: that's an issue we (GNOME) can't fix: this would need to be done at the Google level. If we called it Winter of Code and Google still called it Summer of Code, this would be confusing.

I understand that it's an issue, though.

Any chance of a localised version for the southern hemisphere (where it would be more properly called Winter of Code if it wasn't for branding)?
