<p>Ward and I (Wayne) figured out that our calendars are totally screwed up. Mine's
telling me that the meeting is at 2pm EDT. As I project out into the future,
I see that my calendar thinks the meeting is at 1pm after April 1. So that
DST change screwed up our meetings. At least I assume that most folks tried
to dial in at 1pm EDT. You did try to dial in, didn't you? (Note: because of
the possible confusion in times, Cliff and John were not counted as Missing.)</p>

<p>Ward and I discussed a few things:</p>

<p><b>Google Summer of Code</b></p>

<p>The Summer of Code is on again this year. I've already taken the first steps
to get the project reprovisioned (I asked Denis what I need to do); I'd like
to be ready to start as close to the beginning of May as possible.</p>

<p><b>More Students</b></p>

<p>Carleton University is funding students' participation in open source
projects this year. At least that's the plan; I haven't seen the finalized
version yet. The university has received funding for more than 100 students.
The plan is that each student will spend 6 weeks this year (and get $3000
for their efforts) and 12 weeks next year working on an open source project.
The wrinkle is that this is for students who are <i>entering first year.</i></p> 

<p>To get a student, you need to be able to provide them with at least 2
hours per week of mentoring. They are required to provide their own computers
and their own work location. If it makes sense, they can come on location.</p>

<p>I'm planning to try and pick up a couple of them to help me do some
screencams for Europa. I'll try to teach them a thing or two as well to get
them excited about Eclipse. At very least, this is a good opportunity for us
to raise awareness of Eclipse inside the university.</p>

<p>We discussed some other things that have even less to do with the Technology
PMC than everything else listed above.</p>
