Dear DSpace Community, YOU CAN GET $4500 FOR DOING "THAT"?!!!
The DSpace Foundation has registered with Google to participate in this years Google Summer of Code internship program (http://code.google.com/soc). The DSpace community participated the last two years, completing 4-5 successful and interesting projects each year. Each of these projects has brought value to our community at large. What are the requirements for participating in GSoC 2009!?? Find out here (professors, show this to your students)... (very very entertaining stuff here, if your patient and want to know the "History of Open Source"!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBRRR0BQyz0 (ok, kinda dry, but gets to the point right away, "Google Will Give You Money!". http://idyll.dreamhosters.com/transfer/gsoc-2008-screencast.mp4 And more propaganda here!!! http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/ProgramPresentation The purpose of participation is to (1) promote involvement of new students as open source developers within the DSpace Community, (2) provide opportunities for existing community members to lead within the community as mentors, and (3) build some exciting new add-ons and prototypes for DSpace along the way, . We would like to encourage "all community members" to post their ideas for projects on the wiki: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code_Ideas To see ideas from 2007 for reference: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code_Ideas_2008 We need to get as many ideas posted by MARCH 24th, as this is when the application period begins for students (applications are accepted until Fri, April 3, 12pm PST) If you are interested in participating as a student: http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/program/google/gsoc2009/userguide#quick_students If you would like to be a mentor on the project you proposed, are an active developer in the community and keenly interested in leading a student through a software development project, join the community and apply in the GSoC 2009 application as a mentor for the DSpace project. http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/program/google/gsoc2009/userguide#quick_mentors Get excited and join in on the fun!
