Google Summer Of Code 2008 Is On! Google has kicked off Google Summer of Code 2008 -- a programme that funds college students to write open source software during their summer vacations. Over the coming months, Google will be working with open source and free software groups to select hundreds of student projects from thousands of applications. Then, during the summer, the company will distribute millions of dollars in stipends to the students cranking out the code. Through this programme, Google aims to increase the world's supply of open source software while providing young programmers inspiring, meaningful summer jobs. |
