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."

    No, because they're not taking any more submissions. The extra 200 accepteds come out of the same batch of ~8700 applicants.
