The Apache Software Foundation will be participating in the Google Summer of 
Code again this year as a mentoring organization.

Google Summer of Code is a program where students work on open source projects 
backed by a stipend granted by Google. The Apache Software Foundation has been 
participating in the program since its inception in 2005.

Each year, 30-40 students are guided by volunteer mentors from various Apache 
communities. During the summer they learn what it means to participate in a 
diverse open source community and develop open source software "The Apache 
Way". Many of past students are now active contributors to our projects.

This year we hope to build on our previous successes and again build student 
interest and enthusiasm in The Apache Software Foundation. Our list of project 
ideas (at http://s.apache.org/gsoc2012tasks) already contains over 100 ideas 
spanning more than 25 Apache projects. But that's only what we have come up 
with. A lot of students have their very own itch to scratch and approach our 
projects with their own ideas.

If you are enrolled as a university student and always wanted to get involved 
with Apache, here's is your chance. Browse our ideas list, approach the 
projects you are most interested in, discuss your ideas, get involved, code the 
summer away, and at the end, get a nice paycheck from Google!
