Are you a student who likes to code? Then you need to check out Google's Summer of Code, a program designed to introduce students to the world of Open Source Software Development. OhioLINK is proud to participate in the Summer of Code program as a mentoring organization.
If your application for the Summer of Code is accepted, you will receive a $4500 award ($500 to get started and $4000 once the project is completed). In addition, the mentoring organization will receive $500 for each student developer that completes a project for them. If you're interested in participating in the Summer of Code program, don't delay, applications must be submitted by June 14th. Visit the participant FAQ for more information.
OhioLINK projects for the Summer of Code program focus on building the Digital Resource Commons (DRC), a statewide publishing and archive platform for scholarship and primary resources created by Ohioans or about Ohio. Code contributed to the DRC project will be available under an Open Source license and may be applied to other projects.
