Hey! This sounds vaguely familiar, sort of like the Freedom IT Project which
died of neglect .......
Google's Summer of Code Concludes

Google's Summer of Code, a program that matched computer science students
with free and open source software projects and paid for results, is over.
Despite some organizational problems, the SOC attracted an overwhelming
response from both students and projects, and early indications are that the
program has produced a wide range of projects and attracted a number of
promising students to the FOSS communities. Whether the program will be
repeated, however, remains undetermined.
The Summer of Code is Google's program designed to introduce students to the
world of open source software development.
This summer, don't let your programming skills lie fallow. Use them for the
greater good of open source software and computer science. Google will
provide a $4500 award to each student who successfully completes a project
by the end of the summer. (Payment details can be found in the FAQ)
By pairing applicants up with the proven wisdom and experience of
established prominent open source organizations (listed below), we hope to
make great software happen. If you can't come up with a great idea to
submit, a number of our organizations have made idea lists available.
