For the last few years, Google has been running a program called the Summer of Code. Many/most of you are probably familiar with it. For those who aren't, it attempts to pair up students with open source projects to mentor that student as they make contributions to the project over the summer. The students receive a stipend for the time spent working on the open source project.
An FAQ about the program can be found at: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html Early on in that FAQ, you can follow links to past years' lists of open source projects that have mentored a student/students, and received contributions as a result. Given that we have plenty of hard problems to work on, in areas that students might find interesting and applicable to future work, I would guess that FG could really benefit from involvement in GSOC. Thoughts? The period for mentoring organizations to apply is March 3 through March 12. -c -- Chris Metzler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
