How can I get started?

[3dentech]

Hi,
My name is Marcelo Eden, I'm studying Information System at Integrated University of Recife (brazil), I love Computer Programming, i meet joomla last year and start coding and studying, this year I published a very simple and nice media plugin called denVideo.
Would be a great honor to join joomla at Google Sumer of Code and help making joomla even better.
How can I register as student? What do I need to get started?

Hi Marco,

First of all you need to come up with a project proposal. Feel free to discuss it in the forum area, and ask feedback of the mentors. You cannot apply yet, please check the timeline for SoC.

A good place to start reading is http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=528&t=275076 and we also started working on a SoC wiki that can be found here --> http://docs.joomla.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2008

Last but not least a summary is written in the student area (student guideline), please read this also --> http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=528&t=275076

If you have any questions left after reading this, feel free to ask around.

Best regards, Wilco
