Google's Summer of Code
Google is doing a program they call their Summer of Code.
From Google:
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.
This is so exciting!! They are only selecting 200 students, so hopefully i am one of them. Not only would i be gaining invaluable "real-world" experience but how cool would that look on a resume?
My Project Application is from LiveJournal's list of possible projects. I have chosen to design and implement the "Schools Attended System."
And someone thinks i'm not a good programmer. Well hopefully i will get the chance to prove him wrong! =)
Want to get involved? Head on over to the Summer of Code site and pick a project. The deadline to submit applications is June 14, 2005. =)
