Welcome Google Summer of Code!

The CMS Association is pleased to welcome the Google Summer of Code Program to the 2010 CMS Expo Learning and Business Conference, to be held May 3rd, 4th and 5th, 2010. Over 2500 students have participated in this program since its inception in 2005.

If you, or someone you know is interested in participating in this vitally important program to foster innovation, education and advancement for projects within the Free Open Source community, please stop by the Summer of Code booth at CMS Expo to learn more. Steve Pignataro, CEO of Battle Creek-based corePHP will be at the CMS Expo to represent the Google Summer of Code.

About Google Summer of Code:

From the Google Summer of Code Site

Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects. We have worked with several open source, free software, and technology-related groups to identify and fund several projects over a three month period. Since its inception in 2005, the program has brought together nearly 2500 successful student participants and 2500 mentors from 98 countries worldwide, all for the love of code.

Through Google Summer of Code, accepted student applicants are paired with a mentor or mentors from the participating projects, thus gaining exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits. In turn, the participating projects are able to more easily identify and bring in new developers. Best of all, more source code is created and released for the use and benefit of all.
