We've officially kicked off the community bonding period for the 2015 Google Summer of Code (GSoC) this week. This is CiviCRM's second year participating in the program, and Google has increased our number of project slots this year from 6 to 10, a great step up for a second year organization. The students in total will receive $55,000 from Google for roughly 4,600 hours of development and CiviCRM LLC will receive $5000 if all 10 projects are completed successfully.

The focus at this Sprint is on 4.6 documentation, payment processors, translations, extensions reviews, and improving installation process. I am excited to have installed a sandbox version of 4.6, created 3 pull requests (my first ever!!) and completed documentation on repeating activities in 4.6.

We’re almost 3 weeks into the release of version 4.6 and, based on today’s stats, it’s been downloaded from http://civicrm.org 1,839 times. We’d break 2,000 downloads easily if we added in those from SourceForge, however for the sake of this post, I’m interested only in those from the CiviCRM website because that’s where we’ve promoted a campaign to donate before downloading the latest version.
