![[Google(tm) Open Source Program]](http://code.google.com/images/google_sm.gif)
Google is sponsoring the Summer of Code, a program designed to introduce students to the world of Open Source Software Development. OhioLINK is pleased to participate again as a mentoring organization, furthering the development of information technology in academic libraries in Ohio and around the world. We have a page on our development site describing OhioLINK’s participation and projects; take a look, augment or add your own (feel free to read the project documentation through the ‘Wiki’ link above and suggest other ideas), and apply to participate. Questions about the program? Take a look at Google’s participant FAQ. Questions about the suggested projects or about OhioLINK? Contact Peter Murray.
The Ohio Library and Information Network, OhioLINK, is a consortium of Ohio’s college and university libraries and the State Library of Ohio. OhioLINK’s membership includes 17 public universities, 23 community/technical colleges, 44 private colleges and the State Library of Ohio. Funded by the Ohio Board of Regents, it serves more than 600,000 students, faculty, and staff at these 85 institutions with a consolidated catalog of library items across the state, a physical transport service that delivers those items to users within 48 hours, and cooperative buying of journals and research databases.

Dear Jester, every time you add to this blog, all of your posts refresh in my aggregator. Is that intentional–do you want me to re-read them?
Do keep posting… I’m mesmerized that Google, the most un-open of vendors, is underwriting a Summer of Luv for open source, but hey! Why not.
You can keep re-reading them only if they are good. I’m not quite sure what is causing the refresh problem (what are you using as an aggregator?). I must admit that I don’t read my own blog in my newsreader-of-choice (NetNewsWire on the Mac). I’ll set up a feed, though, and take a look.
Come to think of it, I did uninstall a bunch of WordPress extensions because they were causing the page XHTML validation to fail. That probably mucked with the content somewhat and caused some date or checksum to change. I’ll try to stop doing that.
