# Summary of the Summer of Code Program
# 
# The Summer of Code is a program in which Google provides student
# developers with a stipend to create new open source programs or to
# help currently established projects. Google will be working with a
# variety of open source, free software and technology related groups to
# identify and fund up to several hundred projects over a 3 month time
# span. The inaugural instance of the program, which took place during
# the summer of 2005, brought together 400 students and 40 mentor
# organizations from 49 countries; were looking to add additional mentor
# organizations and student participants this year.
# 
# Google will provide a stipend of 5,000 USD per developer, of which
# 4500 USD goes to the student and 500 USD to the mentoring organization
# upon successful completion of a project. Students will be paid 500 USD
# upon acceptance of their application to the program, 2000 USD
# mid-program provided sufficient progress has been made on their
# project, and 2000 USD at close of program provided their project has
# been completed; mentor organizations will receive their payment
# regardless of a student's successful completion of the project so long
# as the organization has made a good effort to work with the
# student. Additional details regarding the mechanics of the Summer of
# Code Program appear later in these Terms of Service and in our Program
# FAQs for Mentor Organizations and Students
