Google Summer of Code 2010

Now that the Google Summer of Code 2010 has been officially announced, I'm
spreading the word on it.

First of all, an appeal to students: one gets a T-shirt for participating,
and its colors don't fade over the years (I know from experience). So please
keep the tradition alive by applying (oh yes, successful students get USD
5'000 too)

If you plan to be a mentoring organization, you can't skip reading this :-)
