Jiri quitted his PhD and started studying economics. I wasn't sure if
students without a CS field are eligible but I found it in the FAQ and he's
fine :)
2. Who's eligible to participate as a student in *Google Summer of Code*?
In order to participate in the program, you must be a student. Google
defines a student as an individual enrolled in or accepted into an
accredited institution including (but not necessarily limited to) colleges,
universities, masters programs, PhD programs and undergraduate programs.
You should be prepared, upon request, to provide Google with transcripts or
other documentation from your accredited institution as proof of enrollment
or admission status. *Computer Science does not need to be your field of
study in order to participate in the program*.You may be enrolled as a
full-time or part-time student.
