The OSGeo-Announce mailing list announced Google's Summer of Code 2007 program accepted the OSGeo submittal. Here's the OSGeo wiki page on their plans regarding the apps and the OSGeo SoC Google page (mostly empty at this time). From the announcement: "OSGeo is pleased to announce that Google has accepted OSGeo as mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code 2007 program. This program provides funding for students to work on open source projects under the support of experienced mentors. The projects participating through OSGeo are GDAL, GeoServer, GeoTools, GRASS, MapGuide, PostGIS, uDig, OpenJUMP and MapServer. Students interested in participating can find more information on OSGeo's project ideas [website]..." This is a great opportunity for students to work on the incredible projects which are supported by the OSGeo.
