Summer of Code Students announced
1000 students have now been accepted for this year's incarnation of the Google Summer of Code. We had a really hard time selecting from the mostly excellent applications for Geeklog and AptitudeCMS this year. In the end, we decided on the following students and their projects:
For Geeklog:
- Sean Clark will be working on a test framework, mentored by Dirk Haun
- Tim Patrick will create a plugin repository, mentored by Matt West
- Stan Palatnik will add PostgreSQL support, mentored by Vincent Furia
- Thomas Gutleben will implement a complete OpenID 2.0 library, mentored by Randy Kolenko
- Phaneendra Kaddi will add image and comment support to the webservices, mentored by Ramnath Iyer
For AptitudeCMS:
- Kittipat Virochsiri will write a taxonomy plugin, mentored by Tony Bibbs
- Barry Carlyon will work on the syndication API, mentored by Justin Carlson
Congratulations to Barry, Kittipat, Phaneendra, Sean, Stan, Thomas, and Tim, and we're looking forward to working with you during the summer.
To those that didn't make the cut: Thanks again for your application. We had a lot of very good proposals this year and some of the decisions were really, really hard to make. If you have any questions regarding your application, please feel free to contact us through the usual channels.
