Haiku summer of code

Like last year, Haiku is aiming to participate in the Google Summer of Code project. Google Summer of Code is a program that offers student developers to write code for various open source projects. Google will be working with a several open source, free software and technology-related groups to identify and fund several projects over a three month period. For Haiku to become a mentoring organization there are a number of tasks proposed that student can take part in, for instance the development of a Resource editor, a software package manager and even a full PowerPC port.

Interested participants can choose out of a list of proposed projects for the GSoC, and if Haiku is selected to be a mentoring organization carry them out this summer. Haiku is also still looking for experienced devs who can act as mentor.

Let's hope that after the Google tech talks Haiku's application the become a mentoring organization is accepted this year. There are some really nice projects proposed, and both Haiku and the participating students can benefit from this year's summer of code. Plus the GSoC can be a good way of introducing Haiku to talented and interested people to the Haiku project and BeOS.
