FYI...
Hello everyone,
This year, we experimented with the program timeline providing one week for students to discuss project ideas with their mentors and then a single week to submit applications. We have heard feedback from the community that it would be beneficial to provide more time for students to submit their applications, so we've done just that.
The new deadline for student applications is Monday, April 7, 2008.
For full details, you can check out the program timeline. Please note that our engineers are working on the required updates to both http://code.google.com/soc/2008/ and the FAQs to reflect the extended deadline, and we will post to this list when the changes have gone live.
In the meantime, get those applications in and nag your friends to apply. :)
Cheers, LH
