For the third year in a row Boost has been selected as a mentoring
organization for Google Summer of Code. If you're a student this is a great
opportunity to contribute to Boost and make a few dollars over the summer.

If you're interested here's some links to get you started.

We have a few project ideas at:

but, if you've got your own idea that's fine too. Best to put your ideas out
on the development list for writing an application -- that's the best way to
be sure the mentors think your project has merit.

Here's some important dates to keep in mind:

March 24:
~12 noon PDT / 19:00 UTC Student application period opens.
March 31:
5:00 PM PDT /
00:00 UTC April 1, 2008 Student application deadline.
