|---|
Google on Tuesday kicked off its Summer Code program, aimed at enticing students to try their hand at open-source software development. The two-and-a-half-month program will team up to 200 students with open-source organizations, which will monitor their progress. If they successfully complete a project, the students will receive $4,500 each.
"Since the point of the program is to create new developers, we're looking to find developers around the world who have considered creating free and open-source software but who have not yet taken the plunge," Google said on its Web site.
