Worldforge taking part in Google Summer of Code 2014

Once again Worldforge has had the good fortune to be selected as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2014!

This is an awesome opportunity for students to both get more involved in the project as well as get a sweet gig for the summer. If you’re a student reading this, waste no time getting over to the GSoC site and read up on how all of this works. Then swing by the Worldforge wiki to read up on how this all works specific to Worldforge. Don’t hesitate to contact us through our various channels.

As previously we’re also acting as an umbrella organization for our friends in the Ryzom and CEGUI projects.


Here is a video showing off student work from previous year, to perhaps serve as an inspiration.
