h1. Google Summer of Code

This is our central resource for managing all aspects of The Guardian Project's involvement in Google Summer of Code. The Google Summer of Code is a program where Google pays students stipends to work over the summer on free software projects. Each student works with one or more mentors from the community to complete a software project. The Google Summer of Code has started again this year. Mentoring organizations haven't yet been determined.
