(CC to users; please follow up to dev) This is just a reminder: Any student interested in Summer of Code should be working on their applications.
Information on how to apply is available at: http://groups.google.com/group/google-summer-of-code-announce/web/guide-to-the-gsoc-web-app-for-student-applicants The Google Summer of Code program allows for any student to create their own summer-long open source project. OpenLayers is participating this year under the umbrella of OSGeo. This is a great way for students who are interested in working on Open Source Software to get involved in a project in a big way. If you're interested, but don't know what to do, take a look at http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/SummerOfCode for ideas on what you might want to do, and drop an email to the mailing list to talk about it. Also, something to be aware of, from Google's FAQ... "Students can submit their applications via the GSoC web app between March 24-31, 2008. We hear almost universally from our mentoring organizations that the best applications they receive are from students who took the time to interact and discuss their ideas before submitting an application, so make sure to check out each organization's "Ideas" list to see where you can go to get to know a particular open source organization better." If you have any questions, let us know!
