Joomla! Google Summer of Code 2008 Projects
The Joomla! community is pleased to announce that Google is sponsoring 15 amazing projects (http://code.google.com/soc/2008/joomla/about.html) in our fourth Google Summer of Code (http://code.google.com/soc/). Students and mentors from all over the world will work together this summer to bring great things to Joomla!. This year, Joomla! is honored that CiviCRM (http://civicrm.org/node/328) is also part of the team. Sincere thanks to Google for their continued support of Joomla! and the 175 other free and open source organizations participating.
Congratulations to the Joomla! Google Summer of Code 2008 Students
Your proposals were selected from a very competitive pool of nearly 100 applications. Thank you to the mentors willing to share time for this important effort. Projects that held the most promise were selected and we look forward to seeing this work shared with the community this fall.
This summer, each GSoC project team (http://developer.joomla.org/gsoc2008.html) will share their progress on the developer.joomla.org (http://developer.joomla.org) site. Community members are invited to use the links below to join these conversations as the blogging begins over the next few weeks. End user feedback is an integral part of building useful solutions. If you have questions, please contact (http://developer.joomla.org/gsoc2008/16-overall-project/19-gsoc-project-managers.html) Wilco Jansen or Ian MacLennan, Joomla!’s GSoC project managers.
