I wanna go back to school

Google will pay high school kids aged 13 to 18 up to $500 for their participation in GHOP. 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). I also need to congratulate SilverStripe, a locally-grown-and-nutured CMS. Kudos to the Wellington whanau.

As for Drupal, the project has been allowed exactly 102 tasks (Where do they get that number from?). So far, 27 out of 47 open tasks have already been claimed, in less than 48 hours.

I'm With You

I'm with you! I wish they would have offered these when I was in school and got paid for it!
