I haven’t blogged in a long time, but this is something I think deserves to be mentioned.
Today Google announced The Google Highly Open Participation Contest, which is a program for pre-university students. They participate in some of the 10 open source projects and Google pays them a maximum of $500 for it.
MoinMoin, the wiki engine used by Fedora, is one of the open source projects in this program. So if you’re a highschool student who’d like to contribute to a really nice open source Python based wiki engine and earn a few bucks while doing that, go see MoinMoin’s GHOP 2007 page. Remember, there are also other tasks than coding, like translation, marketing, testing etc!
