Summer of Code 08
March 19th, 2008
Google Summer of Code 08 will start accepting applications Monday, March 24, 2008. I have submitted a few metavid related project ideas under the xiph and wikipedia foundation organizations and offered to mentor them.
Google’s Summer of Code is a great program, as a student in summer of code 06 I worked on early video integration for mediaWiki. It was a positive experience and got me more involved with free/open source software. If your a student interested in open media I recommend you take a look at the many great project ideas for xiph foundation. There are lots of other great projects and organizations to work with as well.

I worked on a Summer Code projects for a big European telcom player. I think it really depends on the regulations around the project if it is interesting.
My big advice, please DO read all agreements careful. Ask on forums if you doubt, they didn’t steal my work or something but more the recommendations that I wanted to work on in the future for them. Now outsourced in India or whatsoever…
