I am proud to share the news that Google Summer of
Code 2013 will be happening again this year.
This will be the 9th 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 eight years Google Summer of Code has had 6,000
students from over 100 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 who 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 2013 website where
they can find our timeline along
with the FAQs.
And stay tuned for more details coming soon!
