We're getting older and less privileged as the window of opportunity gets
narrower. I was recently in a similar situation (Summer of Code), but I
wasn't fit. It's aimed to serve as an internship for undergraduates who
actually get summer vacations. Still, I had my summer of code back in 2002
(GPL'd front-end debugger to ARM on a Xilinx programmable board).
