Update: Google Summer of Code is now open for student applications! Please submit now. Amarok applications should be sent to the KDE organization.

As in the past few years, Amarok will try to get slots in this year's Google Summer of Code -- and if you're a student, we want *you*. There are many things we'd love to see implemented and worked on. Don't miss out on your chance to work with an awesome group of people passionate about music, programming, and (of course) all manner of geekery. Check out the Amarok section on the KDE Techbase GSoC Ideas page, see if there's an idea that you'd like to implement (or come up with your own) and get in touch if you'd like to work with us this summer!

Students are already sending their ideas and beginning to develop their proposal on the Amarok mailing list. The proposal itself is crucial to being selected. Please checkout the examples of two proposals that were selected last year: MP3tunes and Media Devices to see what we expect.

Google Summer of Code will begin taking student applications on March 23rd NOW. We suggest you submit at this time; the earlier you submit the more likely that KDE mentors are to read your application.
