Seeking student programmers for summer 2008: OpenCog meets Google Summer of Code

Hi all,

Sorry for the short notice, but I was out of town last week with limited email
access...

The Singularity Institute for AI was accepted as a mentoring organization for
Google's 2008 Summer of Code project, with a focus on the OpenCog
open-source AGI project (www.opencog.org). See

http://code.google.com/soc/2008/siai/about.html

What this means is that programmers who want to spend Summer 2008
working on open-source AI code within the OpenCog framework, and get paid
$5000 by Google for this, can submit proposals for OpenCog projects,
within the GSOC website.

Student programmers have the interval btw March 24 and March 31 to
submit proposals, then accepted proposals will be announced on the GSOC
website on April 11.

If you have a particular proposal idea you'd like to discuss, best option
is to post it on the OpenCog Google Group mailing list (find info on
opencog.org).

Some proposal ideas are found here

http://opencog.org/wiki/Ideas

but we're quite open to other suggestions as well, in the freewheeling spirit
of GSOC...

Thanks
Ben
