Summer of Code

From The Unofficial Google Wiki

Google's Summer of Code is an initiative to encourage open source software development that first ran in 2005. Open source organizations apply to be part of the programme, and are paired up with student developers. The students are given a stipend ($4500 in 2005), and the mentoring organisations are paid if projects are successfully completed ($500 in 2005).

Student applications are now being accepted for 2007.
