Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source projects such as Eclipse, Ubuntu, and Python. Historically, the program has brought together over 3,400 students with over 200 open source projects, to create millions of lines of code. The program, which kicked off in 2005, is now in its sixth year. A list of accepted organizations of this year is available at: http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2010. They are going to accept student applications from March 29 to April 9, 2010.
Want to write open source code?
Want to make money?
Want to do both?
Historically, Google Summer of Code™ has brought together nearly 3,400 students with over 200 open source projects to create millions of lines of code. We're looking for mentors and students to join us in making 2010 the best Summer of Code yet! We'll be offering successful student contributors a 5,000 USD stipend, enabling them to focus on their coding projects for three months.
The Google Summer of Code program is designed to encourage student participation in open source development. Kicking off in 2005, the program has several goals:
• Inspire young developers to begin participating in open source development
• Provide students in Computer Science and related fields the opportunity to do work related to their academic pursuits during the summer
• Give students more exposure to real-world software development scenarios (e.g., distributed development, software licensing questions, mailing-list etiquette, etc.)
• Get more open source code created and released for the benefit of all
• Help open source projects identify and bring in new developers and committers
Google will accept applications from open source projects from March 8–12, 2010. Student applications will be accepted from March 29–April 9, 2010.
