Mind Tools Expert Interview with Dave Gray on "The Connected Company" [image:
Science Hack Day]<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z13hi57i1gqh9gl5533065bpkuifoqh5o3u8o80o>

In this interview<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zq195iicp2vmt4kmth5l4pj5mi9di9m9p6vt0jno>,
Dave Gray (*Connected Company* and *Gamestorming*), talks about what is to
be a "Connected Company." To keep pace with today's connected customers,
your company must become a connected company. That means deeply engaging
with workers, partners, and customers, changing how work is done, how you
measure success, and how performance is rewarded. It requires a new way of
thinking about your company: less like a machine to be controlled, and more
like a complex, dynamic system that can learn and adapt over time.

Day]<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z2spjjce33623nln03o64g8lj6utgns8v7d2cm1o>

This is the 9th year for Google Summer of
Code<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z622eggepblo417bg62melvf3r54vuej48gojjgg>,
an innovative program dedicated to introducing students from colleges and
universities around the world to open source software development. The
program offers student developers stipends to write code for various open
source projects with the help of mentoring organizations from all around
the globe. The goal is to help these students pursue academic challenges
over the summer break while they create and release open source code for
the benefit of all.

*Spread the word*—if you know of a university student who would be
interested in working on open source projects this summer, or if you know
of an organization that might want to mentor students to work on their open
source projects, please direct them to the Google Summer of Code 2013
website where they can find the timeline along with the FAQs.
