[Phpgroupware-developers] google "summer of code" program

[Chris Weiss]

this sounds like a great way to get some things done!  $500 goes to
the mentor to justify the time that will be needed to help the
student.  And if you're a student, this could be a nice way to earn
$4500 over the summer.

 The Summer of Code is Google's program designed to introduce students
to the world of Open Source Software Development... Google will
provide a $4500 award to each student who successfully completes an
open source project by the end of the Summer...

How does it work?

Google is providing a stipend of $5000 per developer, of which $4500
goes to the successful applicant and $500 to the mentoring
organization upon completion of a project.
