Summer of Code 2005
Google has recently announced that they are sponsoring an Open Source code ‘fest’ for the summer. Each applicant (must be a student) will apply to each project designated by Google and then a team member of each project will track the success and progress of each student along the way.
You ask why Google is doing this? Simple, to bring out the developers of the Open Source world. What’s the catch? No catch, just some Open Source experience and $4500 in your pocket.
Read more about it here.
Personal Opinion: I think it’s a great idea and I’m really happy for Google that they are able to sponsor such an event. It’s about time the Open Source world got some publicity. Go Summer Code 2005! Summer Code! Summer Code! GO GO GO!
