97 million) “summer of code” programme under which 800 university students from around the world are paid about US$4500 to spend their summer holiday working from home on open source projects. SilverStripe picked students from the US Sri Lanka Poland Austria Italy and Mexico. Co-founder Sigurd Magnusson says that six weeks into what has been a “wet winter of code” the students have doubled the features of SilverStripe’s content management system designed to help organisations put together and maintain websites. Among the bells and whistles that have been added are multilingual support integration with photo site Flickr and support for the Safari open source web browser. Mr Magnusson and co-founder Sam Minnee will talk to staff at Google’s campus about their experiences with the summer of code after last week addressing the scon open source conference in Portland on the hidden strengths of programming language PHP5.
