I'm sure most, if not all, of you know about last years Google summer of code, and that they are going to repeat it this year. I was hoping that maybe we could promote the idea among university students to get them involved in open source software. I am going to discuss the idea with the dean in PSUT. If anybody can contact any university, plz do so.
The google name, the wealth of projects and ideas, and the cash money prize could help in spreading the open source methodology and way of thinking among students, and hopefully provide them with an alternative to the propriatory solutions they have today.
Students applications would be accepted starting may 1st, which gives us 2 weeks to promote the idea.
Jsut thought this might be of interest to some of you.
