"Hi folks. I'm delighted to report that Nmap has been accepted by Google to participate in this year's Summer of Code internship program. This innovative and extraordinarily generous program provides $5,500 stipends to college and graduate students anywhere in the world who spend the summer improving Nmap from home! They gain valuable experience, get paid, strengthen their résumés, and write code for millions of users. We're one the few orgs which have participated every year since the program began, and we're quite excited for our eleventh year!" - via Fyodor at Nmap.
