Do anyone know if it is better to send the application as quick as possible? I am working in the docs, and i want to give a great impression to the SoC judges. I have to spend two or three days more to get it right. And next I was planning to upload a quickbook generated web page to heard the list voices... In that way, i will have the weekend to improve it with the feedback i get. Is this ok? Or I have to send it asap?
May 22nd is the deadline I believe, but the application should be in
Whoa, it's due by May 8th! May 22nd is the end of the 'iterim period' where more discussion will occur, Google will approve, etc. See http://code.google.com/soc/studentfaq.html#42
well before then in case there are comments and/or more information is asked for. However, spending a few days now to get things right will be time well spent IMO. As long as a few days doesn't turn into a few weeks! :-)
Still I agree with John and posts to the various SOC boards -- quality of the proposal is critical. There are already a number of Boost submissions. My general sense of what I've seen so far is that the authors needed to spend more time refining the proposals. Of course, they have the ability to resubmit with updates if they desire. Jeff
