Haiku is preparing their submission to this year's Google Summer of Code and it won't be long till they have to submit it, it could even be today! To improve their chances of making the cut this time, they started a Google SoC drive, in which anyone can participate. And how can you help? For example, by becoming a mentor, such as Axel or Phipps have done. A mentor will help the student working for Haiku, assisting them with coding, etc.

There is a list of GSoC ideas/projects that the project's core devs came up with, which involved to name a couple, USB OHCI support and Firewire stack creation. But there are several more which you can check here.

So what do you say? Google Summer of Code is important for Haiku not only because it would mean someone working full (or almost) time on Haiku but also recognition by Google of the importance of this project. So head over, read their page and see if you can help.
