Google Announces Summer of Code 2008

Posted by kdawson on from the endless-sunshine dept.

morrison writes "The 2008 Google Summer of Code is on. We have discussed this four-year-old tradition before (2005, 2006, 2007). Google will once again be hosting a program that gives computer science students a $4,500 stipend to work on open source software projects. Last year, Google funded over 900 students' projects in more than 90 countries. As noted in the program FAQ, this year they hope to do even more. The #gsoc IRC channel on Freenode is already buzzing with activity."

    There is no $4500 stipend to cover my sabbatical whilst I concentrate
    on improving the lot of the World.

    So it doesn't work for me.
