Python, Zope et Plone au Google Summer of Code

Le Summer of Code de Google, dérivé technologique du Summer of Love des années 60, est le financement par la société Google de projets Open Source développés pendant l'été 2006. En 2005, 8.000 propositions ont été faites pour 200 places. En 2006, il y a 419 positions ouvertes par Google.

Sur la page d'accueil de Google Summer of Code 2006, on peut découvrir la Python Software Foundation et la Plone Foundation, qui sont des sponsors des étudiants participants à cet événement (ce sponsoring est organisationnel et non financier - c'est Google qui finance les étudiants qui livrent leur projet à la fin de l'été).
