[LIP] Google sponsors FLOSS programme for students

GOOGLE SPONSORS OPEN SOURCE PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS

Google has announced a program called Summer Code in which students
work with open source organizations on coding projects. Google is
accepting applications until June 14, from which it will select up to
200 individuals to participate in the program. Students in the program
can develop their own ideas for development projects or base their work
on ideas from one of the nine open source organizations that are part
of the Summer Code program. Google has taken several steps to support
open source initiatives, including developing a repository for open
source applications related to Google technology and working on
strategies to make its search-engine technology browser-independent.
Summer Code program students will receive $500 from Google when they
are accepted into the program, and projects undertaken must be
completed by September 1. By October 1, participating open source
organizations will announce whether the projects were completed
successfully. Students who complete their projects will receive another
$4,000 from Google.
