Google will pay high school kids aged 13 to 18 up to $500 for their participation in their newest endeavour to promote open source in the general public.
Google Highly-Open-Participation Contest is a new programme that follows on from the success of
Summer of Code. The first round is a bit of a trial and has only ten projects involved, and
Drupal is one of them! The others are;
- Apache Software Foundation
- GNOME
- Joomla!
- MoinMoin
- Mono
- Moodle
- Plone
- Python
- SilverStripe
It is both impressive and interesting how many of them are web-content tools (CMS, web-application frameworks, wikis etc).
