Ruby Summer of Code is still accepting student applications!

Continuing in Google’s great tradition of encouraging student open  
source development, Ruby Central, Engine Y., and the Rails core team  
are teaming up to present the first annual Ruby Summer of Code.

Head over to [http://rubysoc.org](http://rubysoc.org) to get started and follow @rubysoc for  
news.  
The summer will follow Google’s example closely:

```
* students are paid a $5000 stipend to work full-time during their

```

summer break  
\* a group of Ruby gurus volunteer their time as mentors  
\* mentors vote on student proposals based on usefulness, benefit  
to the Ruby community, and history of motivated open source  
contribution

So, if you have an idea, are a student, and would like to earn some  
$$$$ working on it, get yourself over to [http://rubysoc.org](http://rubysoc.org) already  
and submit a student application!

I have an idea for a project that I think some students might very  
much enjoy. Where do I post this suggestion?

Thanks.

See [http://rubysoc.org/students](http://rubysoc.org/students). Ideas pages for Rails, JRuby, and  
Ruby are Wiki.
