I love Mozilla, but it would seem that they have a large enough budget to pay for any student interns they want themselves? Happy to see this go to smaller, less funded open source projects.
- Manishearth 12y agoIntern has a different aura to it, many students find GSoC to be an easier thing to try than an internship (plus, work from home!). An "open summer of code" funded by Mozilla and other orgs themselves sounds like an interesting idea (one that's being informally bounced around on IRC in more than one place) But yeah, I like that they're focusing on smaller projects.
- Morpholemew 12y agoNot just informally; X.org has actually implemented this idea: http://www.x.org/wiki/XorgEVoC/ http://www.x.org/wiki/XorgEVoC/
- Manishearth 12y agoSorry if I wasn't clear, I was talking in a Mozilla-specific POV. Thanks for the link!
- wodenokoto 12y agoMozilla has winter of security, which is basically GSoC for security related projects.
- melling 12y agoIn fact, they should have their own "Summer of Code".

- balladeer 12y agoGitHub has been selected though. (Btw Good to see OSM, XMPP, and Tox there.)
- meragrin 12y agoEven if they didn't have a large enough budget, they have enough exposure, popularity, and structure to draw in people to contribute for free.
