+# 3 days left!
+
+I recurrently got asked not only how to contribute to Debian, but more
+importantly how to *get involved*, i.e. become part of the project and stay
+around for a while.
+
+In case you're a student excited about Free Software and Debian, there are only
+3 days left (deadline **April 8th**) for applying to the
+[Google Summer of Code](http://code.google.com/soc/) program and
+[**work with Debian**](http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2011) this
+summer. According to my past experience as GSoC mentor and admin, the program
+offers a wonderful opportunity to **become part** of a Free Software project
+like Debian. Think twice before missing it!
+
+The proposed [idea list](http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2011/Applying)
+contains several projects that might have a significant impact on Debian. The
+list includes a
+[pet peeve of mine](http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2011/DevPkgRepo)
+(*developer package repositories*) and many many more.
+
+If you are a student, I suggest you to read a
+[recent blog post by Ana](http://ekaia.org/blog/2011/03/31/apply-for-debians-gsoc-projects/)
+that contains a nice overview of some project ideas, as well as info for
+applying.
