WordPress is taking part in Google’s Summer of Code 2010. It’s a programme that allows students to spend Summer working with an Open Source project, with Google paying the stipend for them if the “internship” is successful. WordPress is one of the 150 Open Source organisations taking part in the programme. As jobs go, I think that’s an awesome idea. We’ve all had crappy jobs as students; whether it’s washing cars or giving out leaflets for the best treatment for hemorrhoids, so being paid to code is great; and being able to contribute to some of the great Open Source projects of today.
