I talked about this a few weeks back. I tried to get a position as a Microsoft SDE(T) Intern but they told me we weren’t able to offer a position at that moment (they will contact me back again in January).
In that moment I was resolved to do something nice in summer. I am programming CRUD applications since my first teenage years and that becomes very boring when you want to rock and improve my coding skills: so I decided to flip bits, not your CRUD burguers’ Java accounting application.
So then, Penyaskito told me to apply for Google Summer of Code and I considered his piece of advice. Finally, I only sent one application: Minix USB Stack and know what? It was chosen! I will be working on Minix USB support during this summer with another student from Sri Lanka and both mentored by Benjamin Gras.
Now, I have a great summer of code to enjoy the low level system programming. Just for fun!
But as you know, good news come in packs and some of my friends have been chosen too!
Christian “Penyaskito” Lopez Espinola with his UI Code generation for ArgoUML property panels as well as Pablo “GeuS” Iñigo Blasco and his proposal: LinQ binding for sqlite (Mono).
Congratulations!
