By Carol Smith, Open Source TeamCross-posted with the Google Open Source BlogToday at
FOSDEM I was proud to announce
Google Summer of Code 2012.
This will be the 8th year for
Google Summer of Code, an innovative program dedicated to introducing students from colleges and universities around the world to open source software development. The program offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source projects with the help of mentoring organizations from all around the globe. Over the past seven years
Google Summer of Code has had 6,000 students from over 90 countries complete the program. Our goal is to help these students pursue academic challenges over the summer break while they create and release open source code for the benefit of all.
Spread the word to your friends! If you know of a university student that would be interested in working on open source projects this summer, or if you know of an organization that might want to mentor students to work on their open source projects, please direct them to our
Google Summer of Code 2012
website where they can find our
timeline along with the
FAQs. And stay tuned for more details coming soon!
