Google's Summer of Code concludes (NewsForge)

[Posted September 22, 2005 by cook]

NewsForge reports on the completion of Google's Summer of Code program. "The original program called for 200 students. However, after an announcement on Slashdot, interest was so high that Google doubled the number of applications it would accept. In the end, DiBona said the Summer of Code received 8,744 applications and accepted more than 400 projects, with 41 FOSS projects participating. Major beneficiaries included the Apache Software Foundation with 38, KDE with 24, and FreeBSD with 20. Smaller and more specialized projects also benefited, with WINE, Samba, and Mambo each receiving six."

Some details for the Python Summer of Code are on the wiki. It looks like some useful code got written. Hopefully the new modules can be integrated soon (e.g. profiler, mailbox).
