Google Summer of Code 2007
Posted by Johan Cyprich on 20 Mar 2007 | Tagged as: Programming
Get paid for writing open source software! Once again, Google is hosting the Summer of Code (GoSoC). This is a program where student developers write code for an open source project over a 3 month period. The student will be paid $4500 and the mentoring organization will receive $500. Google will sponsor about 600 individuals for GoSoC.
The purpose of the Summer of Code is to encourage more developers to work on and publish open source code. It may also commit more developers to open source projects. The student is exposed to real world software development and the business behind it. This is something which is not taught in the classroom. Not to mention, it’s more interesting having a summer job writing code as opposed to working in some minimum wage job not related to your field of study.
Google is accepting applications for the Summer of Code until March 26. You can submit your application here.
