Google Summer of Code Update: Joomla!
When I met
Joomla!'s core developer
team during a recent talk at their
Dutch Community
Days, I was quite impressed by how much enthusiasm they showed for the
Google Summer of
Code program. You can check out the detailed
wrap up report for more information on all of Joomla!'s
projects for 2006; each of Joomla's students completed the program successfully. Of the
six
students who worked with Joomla! during 2006, three have joined the project's
Development Workgroup, along with one mentor; these three students are
regularly committing code that will be used in upcoming releases.
We
were fortunate enough to have Joomla!'s two GSoC program administrators,
Louis Landry and
Wilco Jansen, visit
Google before the recent holidays. We talked them into giving a
presentation to us about their project and GSoC, and you check out their
talk on
Google Video. They give some great advice for potential GSoCers, both
mentors and students.
Congratulations to the Joomla!
mentors and students for
2006, and many thanks to Joomla! for joining us in the program once again!
