Google just launched their “Summer of Code“. To bad the Mozilla Foundation isn’t participating, I would have joined in if it was. Would have been a good chance to get some extra cash while enhancing the reporter tool, and perhaps taking on another project. I’m suprised considering GoogleFox ;-). Perhaps they’ll join.
Anyway, really cool of Google to do. An awesome way to give back to open source (the project gets $500 per participant), and encourage students to contribute to open source.

Yeah, when I read about it on slashdot I thought it sounded too good to be true 🙂
Just select “Other” as the sponsor organization, and then fill in Mozilla Foundation. Go submit a proposal!
We may also get them signed up and onto the site within the week. Chris is working with them.
Cheers,

Awesome, I submitted a proposal. I want to take the opportunity to use this as a “good excuse” to accelerate my work for the new reporter tool.
Thanks for stopping by Greg!
