March 26, 2008

Students have until March 31 April 7 to apply to staff the Sakai Project Google Summer of Code opportunity.

I copy the update from the Sakai Project page on this topic in the hope of helping to get the word out about this opportunity.

Sakai and IMS are very pleased to have been selected for Google Summer of code 2008. We are now in the phase of the process where students and mentors interact and get to know each other better. Students applications are accepted by Google from March 24 - March 31. Students interested in working Sakai should read this entire page paying particular attention to the Ideas section below. If you have any questions, you should feel free to contact Dr. Chuck directly.

I wish the Sakai Project, Dr. Chuck Severance, and any selected students successful Google Summer of Code projects.
