Google Summer of Code 2008

Tomorrow, March 24, will begin accepting applications from students and graduate students to participate in Google Summer of Code 2008 .

Google Summer of Code is a good opportunity to make some extra money in the summer working on one of the many open source products: PostgreSQL, Python, PHP, FreeBSD, and many, many others (a list of projects participating this year can be found here: http: // code .google.com / soc / ).

What do you need to participate? Be a student or graduate student, have basic programming skills and basic development experience in the language / languages ​​that are used in the project you are interested in, and have free time (month 2) in the summer. Next, you need to come up with a topic (as a rule, this is an additional module, additional functionality, refinement; less often - a separate subproject) and write a proposal (proposal). Of course, it would be nice to enlist the support of someone from the existing developers of the selected project, ideally - your future mentor.
