Student applications for this year's Summer of Code have now closed. Thanks to everybody who submitted an application!

We will now review and rank the applications. Results will be published on April 21st.

In the meantime, can all those who submitted an application please keep an eye on it? We may have questions or comments, which you may want to reply to.

Update: Google has extended the deadline for student applications by one week until April 7.

Student applications for this year's Summer of Code are now open! We're looking forward to applications from students wanting to work on Geeklog. Please see our ideas page for details.

If I may add a few notes and tips:

• There's no need to rush!
  Applications are open until April 7, so take your time. We would rather see a detailed application on April 7 than a rushed one now. There are no bonus points for being early. Of course this shouldn't stop you from talking to us now (to discuss your ideas, send in drafts, etc.).
• "I'm interested in working on Geeklog!" is not an application
  The application is supposed to tell us which project you would like to work on, how you plan to do it, and include a timeline. You may also want to tell us something about yourself and why you think we should pick your application. If you have any questions, talk to us before sending the application. Contact details are listed on the ideas page. Please also review all the extensive information that Google provides for students.
• Look out for comments on your application.
  Once you've submitted your application, please keep an eye on it, as we may have questions and comments.

(This list may be updated if necessary.)

Geeklog has been accepted in to the Google Summer of Code(tm) 2008. After last year's participation, this is now our second year on that program:

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source projects.

Student applications will be accepted starting next Monday (24th). Students interested in working on Geeklog, please have a look at our ideas page. For any questions, feel free to use any of the contacts listed there. Also, don't forget to check out Google's extensive FAQ.

We are very excited to be back in the Summer of Code and we're looking forward to working together with the students. This is a great way for students to get some experience in working on an open source project. And for Geeklog, we hope to not only get some new features but also some new members for the Geeklog community.

Update: Student applications are now open!
