Not Participating in Google Summer Of Code 2007

Received this in my inbox today:

Dear Applicant,

First of all, Google and the open source organizations taking part in Google Summer of Code would like to thank for applying to take part in the program this year. Unfortunately, your application was not one of those selected to take part in the program. Universally, the quality of the submitted applications was very high, but we had a limited number of slots available. This often difficult decision was made by the organization you applied to, so any questions regarding application selection should be directed at them.

We hope you'll consider applying next year.

Kind regards,
The Google Summer of Code Program Administration Team

Once again, I'll not be participating in Google Summer Of Code. Gives me time to work on my skill sets though.

Google Summer of Code 2007

So the Google Summer of Code 2007, and I have been going through the list looking for something to try my luck with this year. Last year, I didn't make. Shame, shame.

Now listen up people, the process is slightly different this year. In fact, you apply a lot earlier (hell its still Spring!), and only start working in late May.

But you have one week (deadline is 24th March 2007) to apply, so do it now!

A good friend of has repeatedly suggested that I apply for the MySQL ones.

Which groups am I looking at?

• Ubuntu
• WordPress
• Creative Commons
• PHP
• Drupal
• Coppermine

How about you guys? Which one are you going to try out for? Any suggestions for me?

Google Summer of Code 2006

The Google Summer of Code 2006 has started, and the first round of entries are on their way. I myself have applied for the Drupal challenge, and I hope that I can get it. To all those Malaysian students out there, sign up now!
