Debian is now inviting students to apply for Google Summer of Code 
2011 with Debian. This will be the sixth consecutive participation of 
Debian and as each year, the developer community looks forward to 
introduce students to the world of Debian and Free Software.

"Summer of Code" projects from the past years have provided valuable
contributions to Debian. They have been opportunities for students to
propose innovative new ideas to Debian as well as for developers to
collaborate with students on code critical to Debian. Many successful
students have gone on to become Debian project members.

The range of project themes proposed to students is one of the widest
among all participating organizations, encompassing subjects such as
porting the Debian system to new architectures, improving tools for
package management, extending Debian's infrastructure and better
integration with other well-known open source projects.

About Google Summer of Code
---------------------------

Google Summer of Code is a global program where university students 
are given a stipend to write code for open source projects over a 
three month period. Through Google Summer of Code, accepted students 
are paired with a mentor from the participating projects, gaining 
exposure to real-world software development and the opportunity for 
employment in areas related to their academic pursuits. Best of all, 
more source code is created and released for the use and benefit of 
all.

About Debian
------------

The Debian Project was founded in 1993 by Ian Murdock to be a truly
free community project. Since then the project has grown to be one of
the largest and most influential open source projects.  Over three
thousand volunteers from all over the world work together to create 
and maintain Debian software. Translated into over 70 languages, and
supporting a huge range of computer types, Debian calls itself the
"universal operating system".
