Journal 24 projets pour 120.000 dollars

KDE et Google viennent d'annoncer la sélection de 24 projets dans le cadre du programmme "Summer of code".

http://dot.kde.org/1120137340/(...)

Le principe c'est que des étudiants codent pendant l'été certaines fonctions manquantes de KDE et qu'en échangent ils reçoivent une rémunération (bounty) par Google. C'est du gagnant-gagnant : L'étudiant se fait un peu d'argent + améliore ses connaissances + contribue au libre...et le projet KDE devient meilleur !
Le financement total est de 120.000 dollars ce qui fait du 5.000 dollars par projet (je ne sais pas si le découpage est égalitaire).
