Another round of Google Code-in started yesterday. Together with Nemo and Petr I am one of the organization administrators for the Wikimedia community.
In this year’s edition of Google Code-in, students can choose from tasks provided by the following organizations / projects: Apertium, Copyleft Games, Drupal, FOSSASIA, Haiku, KDE, MetaBrainz, OpenMRS, RTEMS, SCoRe, Sugar Labs, Systers, Ubuntu, and Wikimedia.
If you are a 13-17 year old pre-university student interested in getting involved into free and open source software development, check out Google Code-in.
It is a great opportunity to learn about distributed software projects, to find out which areas of software development you are interested in, to gather some on-hands experience, to contribute to “real” projects out there used by millions of people, and to make new friends all over the world.
