Hi all, Sorry for the short notice, but I was out of town last week with limited email access...
The Singularity Institute for AI was accepted as a mentoring organization for Google's 2008 Summer of Code project, with a focus on the OpenCog open-source AGI project (www.opencog.org). See http://code.google.com/soc/2008/siai/about.html What this means is that programmers who want to spend Summer 2008 working on open-source AI code within the OpenCog framework, and get paid $5000 by Google for this, can submit proposals for OpenCog projects, within the GSOC website. Student programmers have the interval btw March 24 and March 31 to submit proposals, then accepted proposals will be announced on the GSOC website on April 11. If you have a particular proposal idea you'd like to discuss, best option is to post it on the OpenCog Google Group mailing list (find info on opencog.org). Some proposal ideas are found here http://opencog.org/wiki/Ideas but we're quite open to other suggestions as well, in the freewheeling spirit of GSOC...
