I am proud to share the news that Google Summer of Code 2012 was announced this morning atFOSDEM.

This will be the 8th year for Google Summer of Code, an innovative program dedicated to introducing students from colleges and universities around the world to open source software development. The program offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source projects with the help of mentoring organizations from all around the globe. Over the past seven years Google Summer of Code has had 6,000 students from over 90 countries complete the program. Our goal is to help these students pursue academic challenges over the summer break while they create and release open source code for the benefit of all.

Spread the word to your friends! If you know of a university student that would be interested in working on open source projects this summer, or if you know of an organization that might want to mentor students to work on their open source projects, please direct them to our Google Summer of Code2012 website where they can find our timeline along with the FAQs. And stay tuned for more details coming soon!

If accepted again, this will be BRL-CAD's fourth year participating as a GSoC mentoring organization [1]. We're looking to expand our student participation this year, so please do spread the word to any students you may know. We have lots of interesting project ideas [2] and are always open to other ideas as well, particularly if they're projects that integrate with or benefit other open source communities (Mil-OSS included). Of course, the earlier students get involved, the greater their chances of getting accepted.
