Haiku Inc. is preparing for GSOC 2010. If you're currently a student, interested in supporting a great open source operating system, want to enhance your resume and earn a $5000 USD stipend - read on!

"Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects. We have worked with several open source, free software, and technology-related groups to identify and fund several projects over a three month period. 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. Through Google Summer of Code, accepted student applicants are paired with a mentor or mentors from the participating projects, thus gaining exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits. In turn, the participating projects are able to more easily identify and bring in new developers. Best of all, more source code is created and released for the use and benefit of all."

The core developers have already listed a bunch of possible projects and which developers will act as mentors. The deadline for applications is from Mar. 29th to Apr. 9th.
