Google Summer of Code Expands

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."

Well thats a flamebait if I ever saw one. But I'll bite.

There does seem to be an overabundance of Google stories on /. Sure it matters to people, but thats what the content-specific sections are for. Not everything has to hit the front page, and indeed, usually they don't. It is rather frustrating when every 10th story is about Google, however. Sure, they lead the industry in giving back to the community and in trying to be philantropic, but theres only so much that can be posted about them before it appears a little too much.
