When I was in uni, I went to school every summer so I could finish in four years and still have some co-op experience under my belt. Keep on doing what you are passionate about! It then took my 4.5 years working before I found myself in a position to work on open source full time. I could be making much more money, but I am doing what I love. I hear you Tony.

As much as I would love to participate in the Google Summer of Code, this years Spring term (May to August) will be taken up by school. Perhaps next year I will be able to skip a co-op work term in favour of GSoC, but this time around it is simply not feasible for me. Still, this is a great venture for those who have the opportunity. I hear that <a href="http://compsci.ca" title="Computer Science Canada" rel="nofollow">CompSci.ca</a>'s <em>other</em> co-founder (that would be Dan) is applying for GSoC (not sure what his project preferences are though). There is still time to express your interest! hey Lloyd, thx for stopping by.

Each of those are fantastic projects, and I am happy that WordPress made your list. Do any of the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/GSoC2007" rel="nofollow">WordPress GSoC ideas</a> interest you, or do you have something else in mind? Are you going to apply then?
