We are pleased to announce that Strands.com, a provider of social recommendation technologies, is hosting a student open source coding summer project, focused solely on haXe.

You can find more information on the project and how to participate on this announcement page: http://labs.strands.com/Summer2008HaxeProject/

This project has very similar funding and terms to the 'other' open source summer coding project that you may be aware of. However, it is designed solely for current students in the haXe community.

Strands.com will provide funding for not more than 3 students, for not more than 2 projects. To see a list of suggested projects, please see the announcement page. We will prioritize the listed projects as well as those that get the most student interest.

Currently, the project involves myself (a PhD candidate at the Indiana University School of Informatics), and Franco Ponticelli, notable haXe community member and co-author of the recent book on haXe. We look forward to making this summer the "Summer of haXe"!

If you have any questions about the project, please use this mailing list.

Best,

- Justin and Franco
