I see that there is another Wellington Summer of Code this year. I know that Catalyst didn't get involved last year because it seemed to be primarily for commercial interests, which was a disappointing contrast to the Google Summer of Code.

So it's good to see that they are sponsoring some open source projects, but I can't see us getting involved with it as it stands.

Meanwhile, of course, there are always a few openings at Catalyst for students over the summer break. That's paid work, of course, and won't always involve working full-time on FOSS projects.
