  Old  Google Code: Summer of Code

http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html


The Summer of Code is Google's program designed to introduce students to the world of open source software development.

This summer, don't let your programming skills lie fallow. Use them for the greater good of open source software and computer science. Google will provide a $4500 award to each student who successfully completes a project by the end of the summer. (Payment details can be found in the FAQ)

By pairing applicants up with the proven wisdom and experience of established prominent open source organizations (listed below), we hope to make great software happen. If you can't come up with a great idea to submit, a number of our organizations have made idea lists available.

I <3 Google. Really, I almost doubted them for the whole "we save everything and tell the government what you're really up to" thing, but I'm innocent and unnafraid now!

Great idea really. I'll have to look into it.

Calling Google.com now, seeing if I can't get past the 18 yr boundary. Their HQ is only a mile or two away so I might visit tomorrow with one of my buddies who works for them

Regards,
Patrick
