Hello fel­low students!

If you like to code and you have no plans for this sum­mer, con­sider apply­ing for the Google Sum­mer of Code with GNOME!

I did that last year, and it is a fan­tas­tic expe­ri­ence for lots of rea­sons. Here’s a few:

• You work from wher­ever you like, when­ever you like (as long as you Get Things GNOME Done, it’s great)
• You get paid to con­tribute in a FLOSS project! In three months, you have time to make an impor­tant con­tri­bu­tion too!
• It looks great on you CV, and your works gets great visibility
• You get Google’s swag
• You get to go to GUADEC (the Gnome con­fer­ence), with is an awe­some expe­ri­ence itself!
• You can fully enjoy almost all August
• You get to blog on planet Gnome, and show your con­tri­bu­tion to the world
• You become a bet­ter coder!

Now that I got your atten­tion, have a look at the project ideas for GNOME. These are just ideas, you are free (and encour­aged too) to come up with your idea: if the idea is awe­some, you are more likely to get chosen!

Per­son­ally, I am root­ing for you to come by and help us improve Get­ting Things Gnome. New ideas and great peo­ple are very welcome!

Don’t post­pone, the dead­line is April 8, and a great pro­posal can be writ­ten in just a few hours. You don’t have to have pre­vi­ous expe­ri­ence in FLOSS devel­op­ment (although it helps). If you are not cho­sen, con­sider con­tribut­ing any­way: your next year pro­posal will be great!

Ps: if you have ideas for gtg, talk to me on IRC (GIMPNet/#gtg is our chan­nel, I’m also avail­able on freen­ode as invernizzi)
