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!)

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.
