Google 2006 Summer of Code and Python Software Foundation

This spring and summer, Google corporation will again provide several 
hundred stipends for students (18+, undergraduate thru PhD programs) to 
write new open-source code.  The main page is 
http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html.
At the bottom are links to StudentFAQ, MentorFAQ, and TermsOfService.  The 
first two have the timeline.  Note that student applications are due 
between May 1, 17:00 PST through May 8, same time.

The Python Software Foundation (PSF) will again act as a sponsoring 
organization matching mentors and projects benefiting Python and Python 
programmers.  Projects can include work on Python implementations, 
programmer utilitilies, libraries, packages, or frameworks.  Project ideas 
are welcome and can be added to http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode, 
possibly as links to fuller explanations elsewhere.

The projects from last summer are described at 
http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2005

People interested in mentoring a student though PSF are encouraged to 
contact Neal Norwitz at __________________.  People unknown to Neal or 
Guido should try to find a couple of people who are to vouch for them.
