Google Summer of Code 2008 concluded on September 2, 2008. We were delighted that 83% of our 1125 student participants successfully completed their projects, and you can check out the actual code produced by these students by visiting each mentoring organization's page below. You may also want to check out our traditional map, which displays the connections between all of our mentors and students worldwide (KML - 1.4 MB, viewable with Google Earth).
We'll continue posting news regularly about the results of the program to the Google Open Source Blog. If you are interested in participating in future instances of Google Summer of Code, now is an excellent time to begin further exploration: explore our mentoring organizations' ideas lists for inspiration, peruse our Frequently Asked Questions, and take a look at all of the resources on the program wiki. If you are a student, the best way to prepare for Google Summer of Code is to learn more about Open Source development now.
Google Summer of Code will be on for 2009 Google have officially announced that Google Summer of Code will be returning in 2009! While the application process doesn't start for a few weeks yet, if you're interested in participating this year, now is the time to start thinking about it, joining the communities involved, and thinking about what you might want to do. Every year we find that potential students who have already joined, actively participated, and ideally contributed to the community before the Summer of Code application process begins are far more likely to make good applications. So, if you think you'd like to apply to OGRE for 2009, now is the time to get involved in the community.
