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
GNOMEDone, 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)
