Student programmers: Google Summer of Code 2007

[Tranz]

Hey students!

This year, the Coppermine dev team is going to participate in Google's Summer of Code. Students can submit their applications via the GSoC web app between March 14-24 26, 2007. We wanted to give you a heads-up so you have time to think about applying. Students will get $4500 at the end of the summer.

We have published a list of suggested tasks so that students can have some ideas on what to do:

It's official. Google has published the list of participating mentor organizations:  Coppermine's profile page. This is Coppermine's first year participating in GSoC. We're thrilled and honored to have been selected by Google to help students pursue their open source interests.

Due Date

The last day to submit the student application is March 24. I forgot where I found the due time for the organization application so I can't confirm it for the student application, but the application should be submitted by 5 PM PDT.

Good Luck! Thanks for considering Coppermine.

Update: The deadline has been extended to March 26 and the due time is 5 PM PDT, or 12:00 AM UTC March 27, 2007

FYI: The project ideas page is all white for me (tested in FF and IE).
I'd fix it ASAP before the application deadline.

Thank you so very much for reporting that. Good thing for revisions in Google Docs.

Maybe we should continue the discussion on the forum if there is vandalism on google's docs pages.

Students, there are less than 24 hours remaining before applications are due. Thanks to those of you who have already submitted.

(It is a little after 5pm PDT now. Applications are due 3/26 at 5pm PDT.)
