Google SOC 2008

http://code.google.com/soc/2008/

This year bigger and better than ever Google Summer Of Code 2008 (Google SOC) has 1125 student contributors and 175 Free and Open Source projects.

There are some suprising ommisions in the list below....?

But apart from that some great ideas - check out the ideas link next to each of the companies/projects to see what their code monkeys will be working on this summer and also check out the http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/ where they will be posting regular details and updates.

This is definately one of the cooler 'concepts' to ever come out of Google.


Cheers,
Dean
