"Ten million lines of code and not a single profanity? Is that really possible? Apparently, yes, says OpenSolaris community manager Jim Grisanzio. He said even before Sun filtered the code, it was relatively free of profanity. 'They went through the code for a great many things,' he said, 'and I'm sure they cleaned a word or two. Or three.' But a careful look through the code will reveal some programmers' frustration." From the article: "The most embarassing comment came from a developer of the GRUB project who went only by the name of 'Gord'. 'This function is truly horrid,' he wrote. 'We try opening the device, then severely abuse the GEOMETRY->flags field to pass a file descriptor to biosdisk. Thank God nobody's looking at this comment, or my reputation would be ruined.'"

Google Summer of Code

This sounds like a good deal, although its only for students. I just wish I had the time/resolve/commitment to do it.

The list of mentoring organizations are pretty impressive. Look at the projects over at Apache Foundation and Codehaus.

June 14th is the deadline so hurry up and take ur pick... happy coding.
