2006 Summer of Code Projects (14)

The Drupal community would like to congratulate 14 exceptional students who have been selected to write code with the financial support of Google. Each of these students have demonstrated a high level of ability, enthusiasm and understanding for the tasks they have chosen to work on. As they begin their work they will be assisted by a team of 36 experienced mentors. With the outstanding quality of the applications, and the large team of mentors who are available to assist, I can't help but think that 2006 will be the most exciting summer that Drupal has ever had!

In addition to the assigned mentors listed above, Angela Byron and myself (Robert Douglass) will be on constant standby to assist students in any general or specific way that we can. Furthermore, the following community members have also expressed interest in helping out as mentors and should be considered a valuable resource for students seeking help:

Aaron Pava, Allie Micka, Amazon, arnabdotorg, Boris Mann, cryptonomikon, drewish, escape164, fax8, Flanker, geilhufe, gordon, GregoryHeller, grugnog, marcp, peterx, praseodym, puregin, sofiya, steve dondley, zacker
