Summer of Code 2009
Posted at 4:54pm EST on 03/09/2009
Summer of Code 2009 has begun! It’s well into March 2009 right now and summer is just around the corner!
First things first though, for those that do not know what Summer of Code is, it is an event sponsored by Google that participates with a number of open sources applications such as Drupal, Gallery, WordPress, and a the list goes on. Students, and this is a requirement, are mentored by senior members of the said application to work on approved projects for that application.
Summer of Code was established in 2005.
Around this same time last year, Google made the announcement that it was going to give more preparation time for the event, which is why we are hearing about Summer of Code 2009 right now.
I wish all the students the best of luck and want to thank Google for it’s contribution back to the open source community.
UPDATE: Applications are due by April 3rd, 2009.
