Dear all,
The European Space Agency started a program called SOCIS. It aims at supporting free-software projects by providing funds to students that are willing to contribute to free-software projects. It works like the summer of code : mentoring organization subscribe to the program and propose projects. Then, the SOCIS committee selects the projects that are accepted. Finally, students apply to the selected projects, the mentoring organization choose the students for each project and the student has to complete the project in some weeks. Finally, if the projects is successfully finished, the student receives money. It is a nice way to improve free software and help some student ! As a Xenomai user, I was wondering if the project would like to apply to SOCIS. I think Xenomai developers may have several ideas of projects for students. I contacted Gilles Chanteperdrix to inform him about the initiative, he told me to post on this list because more people could be interested. You can have more information about the program on http://sophia.estec.esa.int/socis2011/?q=about . Subscription deadline is next Friday so that if you want to apply, you have to do that quickly. If you have any question regarding the program, do not hesitate to post on the SOCIS mailing list or to contact me.
