GSoC '09

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.
It helps both students and organizations by finding the best student talents available to the organizations and on the other hand, gives useful exposure to real time projects for students.
