Nmap Project Seeking Talented Programmers for GSoC 2017

[Fyodor <fyodor () nmap org>]

Hi folks. I'm delighted to report that Nmap has been accepted by Google to
participate in this year's Summer of Code internship program. This
innovative and extraordinarily generous program provides $5,500 stipends to
college and graduate students anywhere in the world who spend the summer
improving Nmap from home! They gain valuable experience, get paid,
strengthen their résumés, and write code for millions of users.  We're one
of just 7 orgs which have participated every year since the program began,
and we're quite excited for our 13th year!

Previous SoC students helped create the Nmap Scripting Engine, Zenmap GUI,
and the handy Ncat, Nping, and Ndiff utilities.  Several of them became top
developers and some even transitioned to mentoring new students
themselves!  We're hoping for continued success this year, but we need your
help to get the word out! If you know any college/grad students (or are
one) who might be interested, please point them to our project ideas page:

https://nmap.org/soc/

Applications are now open but the deadline is NEXT MONDAY, April 3, at
16:00 UTC.  So you must hurry.    We're absolutely forbidden from
considering any late applications.

Potential students can start looking over our ideas page (
https://nmap.org/soc/) and deciding what interests them the most or they
can come up with their own ideas. They should also look at the other
projects accepted into the program (
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/) as students may submit
up to five applications to increase their chances.

When you are ready to start your application, you can do so from our GSoC
org page:
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5824514215641088/

That provides our application template at the bottom and there is a
"getting started" link for submitting your application near the top.  Keep
in mind that you can edit your submission as needed until the deadline, so
you might as well start the application process early.  I can't wait to see
what we can create this summer!

Cheers,
Fyodor
