Planet SoC

Pens up? Congrats for you :-)

Me no where near, but the project extends further than GSoC, most people I imagine just do the project over the summer and then forget about it I imagine.

But you forget, the point of GSoC is to get you involved with Open Source projects, as well as keeping your coding eye in.
IE, projects don’t have to finish when GSoC does.

So to me GSoC just meant I had money over the summer without having to do a crappy job, and I also became part of the PHP team, in a way, yes at the moment only on my project, but it leads the way to become involved in other ways, how this turns out for me I don’t know.

GSoC has been fun and interesting, just to see nearly 1000 people on a single IRC channel alone was great fun so many people waiting for deadlines.

I look forward to GSoC next year, the question is will it be same/similar project or a different one, only time will tell
