Attention students, time is running out:
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.

Josh McAdams made a video explaining The Perl Foundations involvement with
GSoC:

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!)
