Seo Master present to you:
By Stephanie Taylor, Open Source teamCross-posted from the Official Google BlogIf you’re a university student with CS chops looking to earn real-world experience this summer, consider writing code for a cool open source project with the
Google Summer of Code program.
Over the past eight years more than 6,000 students have “graduated” from this global program, working with almost 400 different open source projects. Students who are accepted into the program will put the skills they have learned in university to good use by working on an actual software project over the summer. Students are paired with mentors to help address technical questions and concerns throughout the course of the project. With the knowledge and hands-on experience students gain during the summer they strengthen their future employment opportunities in fields related to their academic pursuits. Best of all, more source code is created and released for the use and benefit of all.
Interested students can submit proposals on the
website starting now through Friday, May 3 at 12:00pm PDT. Get started by reviewing the ideas pages of the
177 open source projects in this year’s program, and decide which projects you’re interested in. Because Google Summer of Code has a limited number of spots for students, writing a great project proposal is essential to being selected to the program. Be sure to check out the
Student Manual for advice.
For ongoing information throughout the application period and beyond, see the
Google Open Source blog, join our Summer of Code
mailing lists or join us on Internet relay chat at #gsoc on
Freenode.
Good luck to all the open source coders out there, and remember to submit your proposals early—you only have until May 3 to apply!
