OAR [wiki:old:gsoc_2011]

The OAR project has not been selected for 2011 GSoC edition.

OAR is applying to GSoC 2011 as a mentoring organization.

This year we will take benefit from the new arrival of 3 new engineers working on the OAR sphere to improve our participation to the program.
After 3 participations to the GSoC, we're ready to help and provide advices to the new mentoring organizations and student participants.
This year, like the last year, the projects are often linked together, and we want our students to communicate with each other via our mailing-lists.
