About gsoc.cat-v.org

This is the official site for the Plan 9 and Inferno GSoC projects, it provides resources for students and mentors and aims to help coordination and cooperation efforts.

This site is hosted at cat-v.org in a linode server.

Resources

Website

The website is run with a few small rc scripts, and pages are stored in a markdown-like format, any gsoc participant can edit them or create new pages under /gsoc/www/

This scripts have grown into a content management system of its own known as werc.

Every participant also has his own website under /gsoc/www/people/$user/

Blogs

There is a blog system that all participants are encouraged to use.

Thanks to Kris now we have rss feeds. And after an upgrade to a new werc version we have Atom feeds too.

Mercurial repositories

Students are encouraged to use mercurial(hg) repositories to store their projects under /gsoc/hg/, there is also a web interface to the repositories

Irc

The recommended place for chat discussion is #plan9-gsoc in irc.freenode.org
