This year, Irrlicht applied for participation in Google Summer of Code^(tm). In case we are elected by Google, we will host some Irrlicht related development projects, e.g. those listed on our Ideas list. Students who want to work on one of those projects have to apply as well, starting on March 23rd until April 3rd at Google Summer of Code 2009 site. In case of successful finalization of the project, the student is paid $4500 from Google for about 3 month of work – much more than I was paid as a student :-).

In case you’re interested in joining this program, just contact us immediately, and discuss issues in the forum.
