Please consider this an invitation for your students to apply to the
Google Summer of Code program:

Victoria is home to several major players in the open-source geospatial
world; many of these projects are taking part in the Google Summer of
Code in conjunction with the Open Source Geospatial Foundation,
http://www.osgeo.org.

Students may apply to take on a summer project of their choosing, paid
by Google and mentored by members of the open source community.  The
deadline for applications is quickly approaching: March 24th.

The following open source projects are taking part:
- GDAL
- GeoServer
- GeoTools (http://geotools.org)
- GRASS
- MapGuide
- PostGIS (http://postgis.refractions.net)
- uDig (http://udig.refractions.net)
- OpenJUMP
- MapServer
