Hello there,
I wanted to participate in this year’s GSoC and I was wondering when the weekly meetings would start so I can be updated with the guidelines, requirements etc. I was looking around in the beagleboard gsoc IRC and did not find anything regarding this. Can I please get an update on this? Thanks in advance! 
If you want to start them now, I think that is wonderful. We usually meet on Wednesdays around 12:30PM US Eastern time. That is barely late enough for folks in the US Pacific time to wake up and barely time for people in India to still be awake.

I’ll be there and start trying to round up mentors to be there as well.
