Over the next month our new students will be active around our forums and our Discord chat as they get to know the code, the community and their mentors. They'll be refining their projects while this happens and wanting feedback from our userbase, so don't be strangers and if you have some time jump over to their wiki pages and give them your thoughts. (We'll add links as soon as they're up). In the meantime, please welcome our new students. Aniessh Sethh Aniessh will be working on developing a central participants database for LimeSurvey.

LimeSurvey would like to introduce you to our new Google Summer of Code Students for 2010. Please say hello to Amit Shanker (texens), Maarten Tielemans (ttielu) and Pieter-Jan Speelmans (MrP) who have been selected by the LimeSurvey team to work on projects this year. Maarten and Pieter-Jan will be working on building a Database Storage Engine for LimeSurvey 2. This is a critical project for the future of LS2 and we're very excited about it. They will be mentored by the LimeSurvey 2 lead developer Mac Duy Hai (macduy) and Jason Cleeland (jasebo) with assistance from David Olivier (machaven). If you are interested in the progress of LimeSurvey 2 and having input, please stay in touch with these students and the linked project page so you can contribute your ideas, suggestions and assistance as Pieter-Jan and Maarten's work progresses. Maarten is a master student in computer science, majoring in secure software and minoring in software engineering. Pieter-Jan is a master student in computer science with a specialization in artificial intelligence. Both Pieter-Jan and Maarten are studying at the K.U.Leuven, Belgium. Amit (left) is building a new question type for LimeSurvey 1, the much demanded File Upload Question. This has been on the wishlist of thousands of users for years, and I imagine there will be a lot of interest as his work comes along. Amit will be mentored by LimeSurvey's Project Leader Carsten Schmitz (c_schmitz) with assistance from Marcel Minke (mazi). As with the LimeSurvey 2 project, contributions from the wider community will be welcome and important. Amit is a Senior Undergraduate student of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. The next few weeks are a time where our students can start getting involved with the LimeSurvey community, so do please say hello to them if you're online at the Discord chat!
