The Google Highly Open Participation Contest

Google has launched a new project - the "Google Highly Open Participation Contest" - aimed at getting pre-university students into free software development. "Google will work with ten open source organizations -- Apache Software Foundation, Drupal, GNOME, Joomla!, MoinMoin, Mono, Moodle, Plone, Python Software Foundation, and SilverStripe CMS -- for this pilot effort, each of which will provide a list of tasks to be completed by the student participants." See the GHOP page for more information.
