[Wikitech-l] Recruiting students to apply for Google Summer of Code

I'll be administering MediaWiki's participation in Google Summer of Code this year, so I'd like to recruit bright students to consider applying. Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a program where you get paid to hack an open source project during the summer. It's never too early to start thinking about summer internships! There's a good explanation of the program here: http://www.booki.cc/gsocstudentguide/_v/1.0/what-is-google-summer-of-code/ Community college, university, and graduate students around the world are eligible. You don't need to be a Computer Science or IT major: http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/fa… If you'd like to participate, check out the timeline. Make sure you are available full-time from 23 May till 22 August this summer, and have a little free time from 25 April till 23 May for ramp-up. http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/ti… Then sign up on our wiki page and start talking with us in #wikimedia-dev about a possible project! http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2011 Good luck, Sumana Harihareswara interim Wikimedia volunteer/community development coordinator
