Google Summer of Code

Опубликовано 8 октября 2013, 18:53

Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers student
developers stipends to write code for various open source software
projects. We work with many open source, free software, and
technology-related groups to identify and fund projects over a three
month period. Since its inception in 2005, the program has brought
together over 7,500 successful student participants from 97 countries
and over 7,000 mentors from over 100 countries worldwide to produce
over 50 million lines of code. Through Google Summer of Code, accepted
student applicants are paired with a mentor or mentors from the
participating projects, thus gaining exposure to real-world software
development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas
related to their academic pursuits. In turn, the participating
projects are able to more easily identify and bring in new developers.
Best of all, more source code is created and released for the use and
benefit of all.
