For the third year in a row Boost has been selected as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code. If you're a student this is a great opportunity to contribute to Boost and make a few dollars over the summer. If you're interested here's some links to get you started. http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2008/faqs.html http://code.google.com/soc/2008/boost/about.html We have a few project ideas at: http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?Google_Summer... but, if you've got your own idea that's fine too. Best to put your ideas out on the development list for writing an application -- that's the best way to be sure the mentors think your project has merit. Here's some important dates to keep in mind: March 24: ~12 noon PDT / 19:00 UTC Student application period opens. March 31: 5:00 PM PDT / 00:00 UTC April 1, 2008 Student application deadline.
