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."

  1. Launching my own summer code camp by Revolver4ever · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's called "Finish-my-next-CS-project" summer of code camp. Kids, help out a poor college student =/

    In all seriousness, these code camps are great for everybody involved. Experience for the programmers; good, "hearty" code for the company. Even if you don't win IMHO the experience is well worth it especially for somebody who has never programmed outside of a class before.

    I thought the title said "Winnebago Code Camp". Unless you're programming the spaceship from Spaceballs, computers and Winnebagos don't mix well.

    If you're an OSS project, and you want people to join in, contribute, admire or whatever, please, please, PLEASE, explain WTF you are and what you're doing on the main page of your web site. Don't make people hunt for this information. Otherwise we're likely to infer that you're just another overenthusiastic underorganized OSS group that has nothing interesting going on.
