We are pleased to announce Google has accepted Joomla!’s application to participate in the 2008 Google Summer of Code (SoC) program.
This is Joomla!’s fourth season and we are eager to welcome another group of contributors with fresh ideas.
With the Summer of Code, Google sets up a win-win situation for students and open source projects. Instead of flipping burgers during summer break, talented student developers can do what they love and write great code in exchange for a $4,500 USD stipend. Even open source projects benefit with improvements to the code base and a $500 USD stipend per participant.
Perhaps the most important benefit is the long term involvement that can result. Both Nur Aini Rakhmawati and Hannes Papenberg were invited to join the Joomla! Development Team after successful SoC projects.
