The Google Highly Open Participation Contest (GHOP) is
"new effort to get young people (ages 13-18) involved
in open source development."
Several projects (Apache Software Foundation, Drupal,
GNOME, Joomla!, MoinMoin, Mono, Moodle, Plone, Python,
SilverStripe) are participating.
For details, see here:
http://code.google.com/opensource/ghop/2007-8/
For those specifically interested in working with
Drupal, the group supporting students working in the
project is here: http://groups.drupal.org/ghop-2007
For students, this is an opportunity to get directly
involved in open source development. For tech
instructors, this is also a chance to get directly
involved in open source development, and to learn more
about a specific project.
It's almost too good to be true!
:)
Cheers,
Bill
