Are you a college student interested in open source software? what about multimedia? what are you up to this summer? Stop whatever you are doing, and do yourself a favor: apply to
GStreamer's GSoC 2012
To find out more about the program visit the
GSoC website and pay special attention to the
FAQ and
timeline.
If you want to take part in Google Summer of Code as a student now is the time to start working on your
application. You can either come up with your own idea or get inspired by our
ideas list.
GSoC is a great opportunity to join the community, learn a lot, get your name known. All while have a helping mentor during the process and getting paid. It has been said that getting into free software development has a hard barrier to entry, well GSoC is a great side entrance with somebody saving you a seat.
Now that is a cool way to spend the summer.
Edit: nekoyaho demanded I include this picture from last summer. Two PiTiVi/Gstreamer GSoC 2011 students, chatting with GStreamer GSoC 2010 student
Thiblahute. Meanwhile having drinks in a Berlin "beach" during the Desktop Summit. Working hard guys. What are those? Margaritas?
