Howdy,

I am working on the application for The Perl Foundation and Parrot
Foundation to participate in Google Summer of Code 2010 [0]. GSoC is a
program where Google funds eligible students to hack on open source
projects for a summer. It is a great opportunity for the students and
the communities that mentor them. You also may be interested in this
summary of our involvement last year [1]. Our application will be
submitted by the end of this week.

Please join us in getting prepared for this year. There is a page for
possible mentors to volunteer [2]* as well as a page for project ideas
[3]. If you would like to help with the wiki, our main GSoC page [4]
is the best place to start. You are also invited to join our mailing
list [5] and come ask question in #soc-help on irc.perl.org .

Thanks!

Duke

interested this year, please remove yourself from the page.

Subject: [Detroit-pm] [pm_groups] Google Summer of Code and TPF call for
	students
Message-ID: <4BAC9888.6000504@techrg.com>

Hi Perl Mongers,

TPF is participating in GSoC 2010 and will begin accepting applications 
from students on the 29th.  Please share this info with your groups and 
local academic contacts.


If you are a college student interested in Open Source software, now is 
the time to get involved.

   http://code.google.com/soc/

Each year, Google offers students the opportunity to spend their summer 
coding on open source projects. You propose a project, and if selected, 
you're assigned a mentor and provided a $4500 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 knowledgeable in areas ranging from language design, virtual 
machines, and compilers through web and desktop applications. This 
program is a great chance to get more involved in the Perl community and 
put a substantial project worth of source code in your portfolio.

Applications are due April 9th.

Thanks,
Eric
