52°North seeks student applications for the Google Summer of Code 2013
52°North is thrilled to announce that it has been chosen the second year in a row to be a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code 2013 (GSoC)! The Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers students stipends to write code for open source projects. Google pays the stipend recipient $ 5.000,- for 3 months of software development for 52°North. A mentor from a 52°North partner organization supervises the student during this period.
As such, we now look for students who are interested in writing code for various 52°North projects. If you are interested in writing code for software developed by the 52°North communities, please have a look at https://wiki.52north.org/bin/view/Projects/GSoC2013.
Student Application opens on April 22, 2012 at 19:00 UTC – but the discussion can start right now!
This summer, flip bits not burgers with 52°North!
