Interesting read...

In short, its a google-founded stipends program.

Anybody else out there thinking about participating ?

Beware though, it seems game-related projects don't have great chances being taken. I just followed an IRC-discussion on this issue.

What's this all about.. a stipends program? I read some of it and it seems the idea is someone basically employs you to write an open-source application during the summer.

Shit, you have to be 18 by May 8, 2006. I'm just five months too young to participate.

I might be interested in participating. If I'm not already committed to something else...

You have to be a student to participate.

Which I am.

I'm really interested some of the Gnome projects, but I want a break from programming... it's summer! sunshine! (looks around, gives up)

Actually, Crystal Space is one of the contributing organizations listed on the page.
