> Hi all,

> Thanks to Josh McAdams, we have a video for you to pass along to your 
> local students:

> If you are a student and interested in Open Source, now is the time to 
> act to get involved in Google's wonderful Summer of Code program.

> 
> Each year, Google offers students the opportunity to spend their summer 
> vacation coding rather than flipping burgers.  You propose a project, 
> and if selected, you're assigned a mentor and provided with a stipend.  
> It is a competitive program to get into, but offers an amazing amount 
> of real-world experience and the ability to get seriously involved in 
> an open source project of your choosing.  The Perl Foundation spans a 
> wide variety of projects including Perl 5, Perl 6, and Parrot with many 
> great mentors signed-up to help you succeed.
> 
> And the deadline is fast approaching (noon (PDT) on Friday!)

> Please forward the above info to your local pm group.  We need all of 
> your help with the mongering right now (and it never hurts to remind 
> busy students about deadlines.)
> 
> If your group has made some effort to connect with students this year, 
> please take some time to share what you've learned with the rest of us.  
> It's not too late to inspire others and we definitely want to learn and 
> continue to grow for next year.
