  • The desciption on the graphs make no sense, "passion" should be on the x-axis and "# developers" on y-axis otherwise it doesn't make any sense.

  • You do realize that it is a global program, right? It is not US-specific:

    "Since its inception in 2005, the program has brought together nearly 2500 successful student participants and 2500 mentors from 98 countries worldwide, all for the love of code."

  • i have a question that i haven't found in the google summer of code ginourmous FAQ, do you need a team to apply? can't you just apply if you're a student (all by yourself) and want to work in a project? the faq says you have to propose an idea, what if you just want to follow others idea and work with theirs and with them.

  • @jofr23

    it makes some sense it means that as the developers increase the passion decreases!hahahhah

  • Who is this Tim Berners-Lee guy? Claiming he invented the internet when we all know Al Gore invented it

  • Super Mario has the necessary skill to work within a virtual environment :)

    Just saying

  • Free as in freedom - When you recieve the software you are entitled to , study, modify and redistribute the program without restriction. You may still pay for the original copy (although a friend who has payed could give it to you without charge).

    Free as in beer - You can obtain the software without charge. It does not imply any of the freedoms listed above although many free-as-in-freedom applications are also free as in beer.

  • I was about to write that as well.

    It's not that the more developers you have working on a project, the more passion until it starts to get too big as the graph implies.

    Otherwise GSOC would be rubbish because you are only one developer and hence have no passion!

  • @ElChe Why it has EVERYBODY to complain? he just used the tool he wanted.

  • @isra017 good point.

  • openoffice?!

  • no, the passion depend on the number of developper, so he's good.
