A challenge to alter Open Source landscape
,----[ Quote ]
| If the community-driven Open Source
| application development is to be considered
| the new age equivalent of the hippie
| movement, the coding community goes through
| a Summer of '69 almost every year.
|
| Coding challenges like the Google Summer of
| Code (SoC), organised between May and
| August, have, in many ways, altered the
| landscape of Open Source endeavours.
|
| UNIX was written by one person in a month,
| but today the space has been democratised,
| and an enthusiastic under-grad sending in
| an important bug fix becomes the new star
| on an Open Source mailing list.

Catching up with Leslie Hawthorn
,----[ Quote ]
| Few people in the open source community
| have touched as many projects as Leslie
| Hawthorn, the now-former open source
| program manager for Google. As one of less
| than ten employees in Google's open source
| programs office, Hawthorn was at the center
| of the Google Summer of Code â a project
| that has worked with hundreds of projects
| and thousands of college students since its
| inception in 2005.
