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 an open source project by the end of the Summer.
Anyone interested to join? The deadline for applications is June 14, 2005.
It could be more beneficial if they have have provided a list of important projects they are currently planning for–however are open to proposals for other projects and ideas.
Woah! Now they got a lot of mentoring organizations.
Still worth a try. ;)
Having read some Q&A, there is still a chance that one’s proposal won’t get picked upon applying.
interesting. :)
Wow, but… I am doing my thesis right now and the deadline is next month. I still do not have enough time of making that project. :(
Fleeb, it’s not a competition. As long as you join and finish a single project, you are entitled to the prize. Fine print says that “each” student gets the $4,500.
The deadline is for the application only so you still have lots of time.
Yup, the money is the motivation. I know how to do these things, but I am not an expert-professional… yet.
I want to, even though there is a super tough competetion for the prize money (I just want to do something). The deadline however, is on June 14. No time for that now.
I don know but why i don find such informative and profitable blogs so often,I suspect blogging world is becoming so small that we cant find such lucrative blogs like this one.
