OpenWengo Code Camp 48
An anonymous reader writes "It seems that OpenWengo launched its first Code Camp a few days ago. The contest is apparently following the same process as Google Summer of Code, but is mainly focused on VoIP software.
There are 14 projects for students to work on. Among them, a couple pretty interesting ones, like creating an XUL interface editor. There is a 3500 Euro stipend at stake for students completing their project. I also find interesting that most of the available projects can be reused by any software project using a GPL-compatible license."

It's called "Finish-my-next-CS-project" summer of code camp. Kids, help out a poor college student =/
In all seriousness, these code camps are great for everybody involved. Experience for the programmers; good, "hearty" code for the company. Even if you don't win IMHO the experience is well worth it especially for somebody who has never programmed outside of a class before.

But some people care about the freedom of derivatives, so they prefer licenses which work to ensure that derivative works are also free.

The GPL is the savior of free software, without it the movement would have been destroyed long ago. MIT and BSD licenses need to be eliminated.

There also seems to be no lack of talent in programs licensed under the GNU GPL; such as the GNU utility programs which people seem to prefer against free and proprietary alternatives alike because they're free and so highly capable (even software proprietors including Apple agree; MacOS X is compiled with GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection).
Perhaps your Silicon Valley-based office should consider doing something more competitive than relying on GPL-incompatible licensing and namecalling.

Apparently gcc wasn't very good. Developers were upset when they compiled their projects in Xcode rather than from Code Warrior for the first time. Compiling things took like fifty times longer. Granted, Apple worked on this and gcc4 is faster.
Now this could all be bullshit, I dunno, I haven't seen any of this referenced other than being told by this Apple guy. But it would be pretty bo

This feature is planned for the NG release.
Because it's so hard to implement? it's not there yet...
I suggest you implement it -- your're going to have a hard time getting people onboard on yet another "we will be *the* VOIP provider"-scheme.
