The Chandler Project Blog

For the past three years Google has run an outstanding summer program for students
interested in becoming involved with open source software development.
Summer of Code offers students a chance to
develop relationships with living, breathing software communities by coordinating with
as many as 130 organizations and 900 students on 3 month software projects.
Stipends
are provided to both the mentor organizations and students, making it a very sweet deal
from almost any angle.

As we have in the past, OSAF will be participating in SoC as a mentoring organization this
year. A full list of projects we believe will be both useful to the project in the long term
and stand a high chance of being included in our code base in the short run can be found
here, but
as in past years outside proposals are more than welcome.

Comprehensive information about this year’s program, including important bits like
eligibility
and application instructions
can be found on the the official
FAQ. Student
applications will be accepted from March 24 – March 31, so now is the time to find
a project and put together a solid proposal!

As always, feel free to ask on one of the Chandler Project
mailing lists
or in #cosmo or #chandler on irc.freenode.net for more information.
