Hey all, Google's "Summer of Code" [1] just starts again. It may be a controversial topic itself, but has good influence on many open source projects and communities. Today the student application period started -- for 1 week it's now possible to apply for a paid internship with your project idea, or one you might have found on the mentor organisations [2] ideas page - and preferably already discussed it with them. Basically, it's a paid internship to develop open source code. 3-4 months work, $ 5000 for each accepted student. The only prerequisite is that you have to be enrolled at any university with april 14th 2008. Just so you know - it sure will be fun, a rich experience and good money :) - Chris [1] http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2008/faqs.html [2] http://eflow.org/wiki/index.php?Mentors_by_language
