Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects....over a three month period. Since 2005, the program has brought together over 4,500 students and more than more than 4,000 mentors & co-mentors from over 85 countries worldwide, all for the love of code.

Through Google Summer of Code, accepted student applicants are paired with a mentor or mentors from the participating projects, thus gaining exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits. In turn, the participating projects are able to more easily identify and bring in new developers. Best of all, more source code is created and released for the use and benefit of all.

Ars Electronica - Digital Communities

• due March, 18 2011
• 5-10k euros

http://new.aec.at/prix/en/kategorien/digital-communities/

The “Digital Communities” category is open to political, social, cultural and artistic projects, initiatives, groups, and scenes from all over the world that are effectively utilizing digital technology to further society and to promote social responsibility. It is open to the initiators and propagators of these communities as well as the developers of the relevant technologies, and is meant to honor those whose work contributes to the establishment and proliferation of digital communities as well as to those efforts that promote better understanding and research.

Projects will also be selected based on both their social and technological engagement, the usage of social software tools, artistic and cultural approaches and the creative implementation of the concept. Special attention will also be paid towards the degree of the visionary and forward looking potential of the projects, their potential for new innovation and the degree to which they have already been realized.

Jurors will place particular emphasis on the reasonableness, appropriateness and openness of the solutions. Digital Communities projects should enable human beings to enjoy the widest possible access to technology, networks, content and the so-called digital commons. The projects singled out for recognition should be able to serve as models to be taken on by others, and should constitute a source of inspiration, encouragement and empowerment.
