This Week's Top 10's: Universities for Google Summer of Code 2008

Thursday, May 8, 2008 at 3:25 PM



Last Monday, we brought you news on the Top 10 countries from which we're welcoming this year's Google Summer of Code™ students. Many thanks to everyone from the community for their suggestions about which program statistics they'd like to see next. By popular demand, this week we're showcasing data about which schools our Summer of Coders are attending.








Many thanks to David Anderson, currently on his third internship with Google and organization administrator for the Subversion project, for his help in getting these statistics together. As always, we welcome your comments; let us know what information from Google Summer of Code you'd like to see featured.

This is Great! This kind of statistics are important to promote and incentive the Summer of Code for the students. We, from University of Campinas, are glad to see that we are tied in second place of accepted proposals.

it could be interesting to see the full stats, not only the top 10 countries/universities/projects, etc.

The top 10 Universities for '2008 Gsoc Accepted' does not list Indian Institute of Technology, kanpur. I am student and know for certain that there are atleast 8 of us selected for Gsco'08 ..

Looks like IIT Kanpur should be in the second list too (total 7 accepted):

@ Anton Arhipov: It's our plan to publish these stats in the coming weeks.

@ lazythoughts / louiswu: Thanks for your comments. The stats here are derived with a fair number of heuristics to correct and normalize some of the school data input, which may be causing the what you're seeing. Congratulations to you and your fellow alums on IIT Kanpur's successes this year!
