Google Summer of Code 2012 si Online Marketing Challenge

1. Google's open source team has now announced that Google Summer of Code 2012 will happen. Undergraduate and grad students at accredited colleges/universities around the world can get paid to work on open source projects as a full-time three-month internship.

Upcoming deadlines: 9 March, mentoring organizations need to submit their applications to participate. 6 April, student application deadline.

The best way to get in good applications is for organizers and students to start EARLY, like, NOW. Students who download source code in February, learn how to hang out in IRC and submit patches in early March, and apply in late March are way more likely to get in (and to have a good project) than those who start on April 2nd.

If you want flyers etc., see https://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/GsocLogos and https://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/GsocFlyers and https://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/ProgramPresentations -- feel free to localise them and share them on that wiki.
