Will code for ... freedom!

You might have seen the announcement yesterday in the media or read it via Sun blog posts.

As the contest website says: "... Sun Microsystems is happy to announce the Code For Freedom contest where students across India contribute to the technologies that are empowering the participation age. Participating in this contest will provide you with precious industry experience while still learning in college. And there is more. We in turn reward you for your valuable contribution in taking the first steps towards the open source movement."

Sun's history indicates how a university could help in fostering innovation. One of our founder's engineering skills while at university is well known too.

So if you are a student in India this is a wonderful opportunity to learn , participate and win.

GlassFish is a participating project as well and instructions on how to contribute are available here.
