>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.

>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.
