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

Thanks, Sumana, for these helpful links.

As a related note, Semantic MediaWiki will apply for getting *additional* slots for funding even more students in MediaWiki-related development activities this year. Further information and project proposals can be found at

http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/GSoC_2011

Yaron and I are co-ordinating this effort for SMW.

Cheers,

Markus

  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:

  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.

  Then sign up on our wiki page and start talking with us in

#wikimedia-dev about a possible project!
