OK, here is my try on it, feel free to modify ------------------------------------------ Want to help mapping the world, get to know nice people and earn money? The OpenStreetMap project collects geographical data and makes them available in various forms for various purposes, e.g. as street maps, etc. OpenStreetMap has applied for sponsorship through the Google Summer of Code initiative. This means that students get to choose a task they want to work on, code on it between May 26 - August 11 2008 and get paid for it by Google. A mentor from the project will be assigned to the student and support them as much as possible. Sounds cool? It is! Find more info on the Google Summer of Code here: http://code.google.com/soc/2008/ The OpenStreetMap project has more information and potential projects here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code Feel free to have a look, get into contact with people and pick (or suggest) a cool project to work on. [EMAIL PROTECTED] will try to help you find some tasks if you are not sure what to do. The OpenStreetMap community looks forward to your application. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
