Hi, my name is Marek, I study informatics (I’ve just ended my second year), I’m GNU Volunteer Webmaster and this summer I was an intern at FSF working on GNU MyServer. You can be curious why I’m not listed here along other interns - being first FSF intern I was accepted before FSF’s new internship program was started and I’m not part of it.

I was first introduced to free software three years ago in the introductory computer science course at Grinnell College, Iowa. The quality of a wide range of programs installed on the GNU/Linux machines made such a strong impression on me that I immediately became an avid user of free software.

"While GNU Generation isn't the next Google Highly Open Participation Contest™ (GHOP), the two efforts have a lot in common. My name is Max Shinn and I am going into my junior year of high school. This summer, though, I'm interning with the Free Software Foundation (FSF). When I was participating in GHOP, I never imagined that I would be using that experience to start a similar project.

It's time for another round of Google's Summer of Code (SoC). The SoC is an effort that first started in 2005 as an effort to get students involved in open source code development. Google provides a stipend to the student and to the mentoring organization that helps the student.

Kai Blin this week sent the application for this year's Summer of Code.
