NetBSD and Google's Summer of Code

Posted by timothy on from the platform-agnostic dept.

ruipaulo writes "When Google announced the "Summer of Code", its program designed to introduce students to the world of open source software development, the NetBSD Project understood the value of this project and entered as a mentoring organization. Over a period of two weeks, students researched the list of possible projects and discussed their proposals on the public mailing lists and in private with developers and other users alike. After evaluating over 100 distinct applications, the NetBSD Foundation is now pleased to announce the list of projects that have been chosen. See the associated press release for all the details."

    It was more like 36 hours. And it was enough for the 30+ groups we added. I like debian a bunch, and should we do this again, I'll be pleased to include them.
