Update - GSoC application period extended, another project idea

Tuesday, 1 April 2008  |  Will Stephenson

Google have extended the Summer of Code 2008 student application deadline until April 7 so if you were busy last week or concerned your application wasn't good enough, now's your chance to get it in.

And I took the opportunity this morning to add an idea that we could really use on the Free desktop - a way to sync wallet secrets between different computers, and maybe between KDE and other secure stores like GNOME keyring and the Mozilla password manager. If you think you're hard enough, please apply. It's a non-GUI job, and involves getting your hands dirty with various APIs and solving some tricky problems - just the kind of skills needed to make yourself useful as a professional Linux hacker.
