OpenWengo Code Camp

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-to-do-with-sleepless-nights dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It seems that OpenWengo launched its first Code Camp a few days ago. The contest is apparently following the same process as Google Summer of Code, but is mainly focused on VoIP software. There are 14 projects for students to work on. Among them, a couple pretty interesting ones, like creating an XUL interface editor. There is a 3500 Euro stipend at stake for students completing their project. I also find interesting that most of the available projects can be reused by any software project using a GPL-compatible license."

    Isn't this what most internship programs are about? Spread the word about the company, get students hooked on their software/tools/philosophy/widgets, and keep an eye out to recruit the best ones as full time employees.

    More true than you know. Whereas the U.S. is personified by an old geezer wearing a weird stovepipe hat, France is personified by Marianne, a rather attractive lady. For a long time, her official likeness was based on various sexy Frenchwomen, starting with Brigitte Bardot and ending with Laetitia Casta. Since 2002, alas, the model has been anonymous.
