Google Summer of Code Expands

Posted by Zonk on from the more-the-merrier dept.

bakotaco wrote with news from the Summer of Code site: "We're Expanding the Summer of Code... After spot reviewing the applications we've received for the Summer of Code, we were struck with their high quality. As a result, we were able to increase the funds available to support 400 students, double our original number of 200. While this doesn't allow us to take all applicants, we thought that this would be a terrific thing to do for the mentoring organizations, the students, open source software and computer science."

      Hey - this is slashdot, man. It's Summer of Code, ok? Take it or leave it. Besides, you're about 38 years too late anyway.

      Sheez, the summer sure makes some people strange in the head.

      Now excuse me while I go and compile my newly optimized subroutine. Man, that subroutine really pushes my buttons, you know what I mean?

  4. Is it like the Summer Of George? by writermike · · Score: 2, Funny

    George: Yeah! Look at me! I was free and clear! I was living the dream! I was stripped to the waist, eating a block of cheese the size of a car battery!

    Jerry: Before we go any further, I'd just like to point out how disturbing it is that you equate eating a block of cheese with some sort of bachelor paradise.

    But remember, having Google on your resume looks better than McDonalds!

    And CERTAINLY much better than working for Electronic Arts.

    It's already there. It's just poorly indexed.
