Google have announced that student applications are now open for their Summer of Code program until next Friday April 8th. WorldForge has been accepted once again, so we are hoping to take on a number of students.
If you are interested in applying then you should think carefully how to apply. Review the list of ideas we have posted, but don’t feel you must be constrained by it. Applications should demonstrate deeper knowledge of WorldForge, so you will need to look into how the existing system works, and how new ideas might be implemented before writing a convincing application. We are happy to review draft applications, provide feedback and help you improve your application. Post a new topic here, send to the mailing list at http://mail.worldforge.org/lists/listinfo/general or come and chat to alriddoch or kai in #lounge on WorldForge IRC described here http://worldforge.org/doc/irc during the European working day.
Get your applications in quickly as there is not long for reviews and feedback before the deadline. I am really looking forward to getting some great applications, and working with some awesome talented people again this summer.
