Subject: [pm_groups] Summer of Code Student Deadline


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.

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

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!)

Thanks,
Eric
