ESA Taking Applications for Summer of Code in Space
phyr writes: "ESA Summer of Code in Space (SOCIS) is a program run by the European Space Agency. It aims at offering student developers stipends to write code for various space-related open source software projects. Through SOCIS, accepted student applicants are paired with a mentor or mentors from the participating projects, thus gaining exposure to real-world software development scenarios. In turn, the participating projects are able to more easily identify and bring in new developers. Applicants must be attending a European or Canadian university and will receive 4000 Euros for supporting one of the accepted open source projects. Applicants have until May 15th to submit their proposals and resumes. I'm particularly interested to have exceptional proposals for the NEST project."
You're right about the ESA. They have changed from being a technical organization to a political one. They no longer have any interest in space. They only want to funnel money into the pockets of rich old white men. This "not in space" contest shows they have no actual interest in space.
