+ <p>Google is doing its <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/">
+ Summer of Code</a> program again this year. Samba is proud to be
+ involved again as a mentor organization, so if you're a student and
+ have some time on your hands this summer, consider signing up. From
+ the Summer of Code site:</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ The SoC is our program to introduce students to the world of Open Source
+ software development. Last year of the 8744 applicants, 419 students were
+ accepted into the program and more than 80% of them succeeded, which means
+ they received the full stipend of $4500.
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p>Today, 1 May 2006, is the day Google has planned to start accepting
+ applications from students. For a list of potential projects in Samba
+ development, see our
+ <a href="/samba/projects/summercode0i6.html">Summer of Code '06 project
+ page</a>.</p>
