After some harassment by one of the plan 9 developers we decided to put devkitPro forward as a mentoring organisation for this year’s Google Summer of Code. There is a project ideas page on the wiki along with some brief details of how to get in touch if you’re interested in any of the projects of have ideas of your own.

The Plan 9 community is also recruiting student ds developers for GSoC 2008. Interested students can make contact on the plan9 irc channel on freenode or through the plan9 google group. The  group also has a project page found at code.google.com/p/inferno-ds/

This should be a great opportunity to combine your studies with homebrew.
