Student applications now being accepted for Google Summer of Code

The Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2011 has begun its student application period, inviting university students worldwide to participate in a program that offers a stipend to write code for open-source projects over three months. This initiative pairs students with mentors from participating projects, providing real-world software development experience and potential employment opportunities related to their studies. In 2011, the program has expanded to accommodate up to 150 additional students due to its competitive nature. Applicants must submit proposals to mentoring organizations by April 8th, emphasizing quality to stand out, and are encouraged to consult the student manual and follow specific guidelines. Students can access further resources and updates through the Google Open Source blog, mailing lists, and IRC, with an emphasis on early proposal submission for feedback.
