Today was the first day for qualified students to submit applications for Google’s Summer of Code (last day is next Monday, May 8 ). If you’re an aspiring (or even established) multimedia hacker who also happens to be a student, check over the (sparse, compared to some other projects) list of FFmpeg project possibilities. You can also submit your own idea if you think you have a good one. Just make sure the application is written well enough and the FFmpeg mentor board will review it.
