GSoC Results Announced
Interns to work for the Pardus Project as part of GSoC has been announced.
The Pardus Project, among 150 advisor organizations, is part of Google's incentive, Google Summer of Code (GSoC for short) 2009 that aims to foster open source software development in a global scale by allowing students of software development take internship positions in open source projects. All the projects are developed remotely under the watch of the advisor organizations.
As published in Özgürlükİçin News, GSoC 2009 applications began on March 23rd and ended on April 3rd. After the advisor organizations' assessment of the applications, accepted students and their advisors were matched.
Six students were accepted as interns to the Pardus Project this year. Officially starting their projects on May 23rd, students will be hacking for their projects, a time of hard work, but also -hopefully- joy.

- Ezgi ÇİÇEK - Turkish Grammar Check for OpenOffice.org
