OpenOffice.org has been accepted for Google Summer of Code 2007

Late in the night (US Pacific Time) the news about the organizations accepted for Google Summer of Code ™ 2007 has been sent out. Thanks to Google for running the program this year again and inviting OpenOffice.org to participate.

For students considering to spend their summer with OOo we prepared project proposals . The application period for students end March 24. This gives you some time to contact us on the mailing list mentioned with the task and clarify the scope, required skills, ... We hope to receive many detailed student applications in the next days.

Thanks go also to the (potential) mentors willing to work with a student over the summer. Let's see how many slots will be alloted to OOo at April 9.
