We hold IRC meeting to judge summerdojo applications. We plan 1 hour, but it takes about 2 hours and half to decide final approvals. We received 9 applications and approve 3 of them. We'll notify and announce them tomorrow.

FSIJ will run Summer Code Dojo 2005. This is Japanese version of Summer of Code by Google. Google will pay $4,500 for each student developers, approved by FSIJ. We're looking forward to get ambitious proposal from students who is full of drive. It would be nice for the free software developer, especially for students, to get some money by developing some software instead of by usual part-time job.

If you're student and instead in proposed project or have more cool project, please apply!
