Google goes highly open
Now this is a very cool idea. Dries has the details of Google’s Highly Open Participation Contest for high school students. In short, it provides incentives for students to help out on open source projects.
Drupal is one of the projects, and this program is a great way to get started with open source.
As a Summer of Code mentor this year, I’m thrilled that Drupal is participating in the project.

Could you give more details on Drupal project? It’s a great opportunity for all the high school students interested in this matter.
Is there any possibility for college students to take part in such projects?

More information about GHOP in Drupal is available here.
The program is expressly for high school students (and lower grades). Google runs the Summer of Code project for college students. See Drupal’s SoC 2007 group.
More information about both programs is available from Google.
