Summer of Code Org Application Deadline Approaches

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fun-for-all-ages dept.

chrisd writes "Just wanted to drop a line reminding open source projects that they only have until March 12th (Pacific time) to apply for Google's Summer of Code. We are accepting more organizations this year than last because we want to add a couple hundred more students to the program. If you are part of a great project or know someone who is, we'd love to see an application. Please note that this is for organizations and not for prospective students, that's not for a few more weeks (see the program timeline)!"

  1. suggested projects: Open source voting systems by goombah99 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Open source voting (see for example Open voting consortium) could use some devoted polishing and completion. Given the design principles are well worked out so that show stopping pitfalls will be avoided, it's due for some proper craftsmanship.

    A person working on this could have worldwide lasting impact.

    another project might be a YAML C++ library and the equivalent of XSLT for YAML.

  2. Re:How many SoC "news" do we have to get? by Enleth · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I don't know where did this notion of /. front page space being a scarce resource come from, but I really don't think that NOT submitting some stories will cause a spontaneous apperarance of "valuable" (however you define that in the scope of your own interests) news in the submission system. Or will it?

    Submit something yourself, maybe?
