I was asked to forward this on to the list.

Google Summer of Code is On!  Okay, it's finals time and you're busy,
but are you interested in doing a Google SOC project?  It's a super
opportunity to hack on a project of your choice, get paid pretty well
for it, get noticed, and maybe get some great job opportunities.

Not sure what's involved or how to do one?  Or think because you already 
have a summer job, you can't do one?  It may be easier than you think 
but you have to act pretty fast.  And you're chances might be much 
better than you think.

If you're interested, the best way to get an idea and get accepted is to 
check out some of the sponsoring open source projects that had students 
accepted last year and have good mentors.   Most of them have already 
posted a bunch of ideas and you can read the ideas they have posted, see 
if any are appealing, or post your own idea to their list for feedback, 
then simply write up a brief abstract length description on what you 
will code.

Inkscape happens to be one such project having 4 student proposals 
accepted last year and the web site has lots of detailed SOC info on the 
wiki page (www.inkscape.org).  Go for it.
