The GF Resource Grammar Library is an open-source computational grammar resource that currently covers 12 languages. The Summer School is a part of a collaborative effort to extend the library to all of the 23 official EU languages. Also other languages chosen by the participants are welcome. The missing EU languages are: Czech, Dutch, Estonian, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Portuguese, Slovak, and Slovenian. There is also more work to be done on Polish and Romanian. The linguistic coverage of the library includes the inflectional morphology and basic syntax of each language. It can be used in GF applications and also ported to other formats. It can also be used for building other linguistic resources, such as morphological lexica and parsers. The library is licensed under LGPL. In the summer school, each language will be implemented by one or two students working together. A morphology implementation will be credited as a Chalmers course worth 7.5 ETCS points; adding a syntax implementation will be worth more. The estimated total work load is 1-2 months for the morphology, and 3-6 months for the whole grammar. Participation in the summer school is free. Registration is done via the courses's Google group, \begin{verbatim} http://groups.google.com/group/gf-resource-school-2009/ \end{verbatim} The registration deadline is 15 June 2009. Some travel grants will be available. They are distributed on the basis of a GF programming contest in April and May.
