Yesterday Jorge G. Mare presented the Haiku project named Haiku Code Drive 2008. Some time ago Haiku made known that 5 students were selected for this year’s Google Summer of Code. I remember having read that more students were willing to get involved in GSoC but were not selected. This is exactly the goal of this project: setting up something to allow those to join the CoSD: Crew of Summer Developers :-)

So, they proposed the remaining students if they would go for their proposed project if they were given $2,500 stipend each. The agreed students as well as their proposed project were summarized on this page: http://www.haiku-os.org/community/haiku-code-drive-2008/applications ;

The money is to be raised from the community, this means us !

And, because us means you and me, I made my contribution some minutes ago. Your turn now :-)

To be in sync with GSoC we only have until May 29 to contribute, so don’t wait, donate what you can now, support the effort !

Program details and a tentative calendar can be found at this page: http://www.haiku-os.org/community/haiku-code-drive-2008

From 22nd to 29th of May a poll will be held to decide to which student(s)/project(s) the raised money will go. How many students depends on you !

Donations are PayPal based so if European people out there are willing to donate but can’t afford to have a PayPal account, I propose to be used as a converter :-). Send an email to HaikuCallToArms08@manette.be for more details.

Have a nice day !
