Google Summer Of Code --- Deadline: June 14th
The Summer of Code is Google's program designed to introduce students to the world of Open Source Software Development.

This Summer, don't let your programming skills lie fallow...Use them for the greater good of Open Source Software and computer science! Google will provide a $4500 award to each student who successfully completes an open source project by the end of the Summer. (payment details can be found in FAQ)

By pairing applicants up with the proven wisdom and experience of established prominent open source organizations (listed below), we hope to make great software happen. If you can't come up with a great idea to submit, a number of our organizations have made idea lists available.
Drupal is there, Mambo is there ... hey --- what about CMSMS? There are a lot of great tasks ... for example the search, the News and the whole integration of Plug-Ins. Maybe even the backend-handling (accessibility and ATAG). What do you think?

Regards,
Nils

I think it's an awesome idea.  Unfortunately, we missed the window for submitting an organization by a day (June 1st).  Maybe next year...  :)
