OpenWengo Summer Projects


The open-source project OpenWengo, which develops communication over IP technology, [0] will soon be launching an initiative similar to Google's Summer of Code, and OpenOffice.org community members are invited to participate.

What are the details? Students are eligible for awards of 3500 euros; mentors, 500 euros. Students will work during the summer on FOSS development projects of their choice. There will be a selection process of course.

OpenWengo would like to limit the subjects to communication over IP, but that constraint should inspire creativity. OpenWengo is further interested in working out some pretty interesting subjects for both students and the OpenOffice.org community and are available to answer any question we may have.

This initiative is planed to start on June 29th 2006, so they don't have much time.

We will need both mentors and students. If you feel you can help mentor students (you should be a developer with a good knowledge of OOo) let me or Julien Gilli <julien.gilli (at) wengo.fr> know.
