This is perfect for doing your final year project . Guys who are into coding, dont miss out on this chance - get a group of like minded friends and register , read through the norms,and the whole process of applying, and working on open source projects is an experience in itself . Last year, Google funded over 600 students in 93 countries to work with 100 open source groups.

Who's eligible to participate as a student in Google Summer of Code?
in order to participate in the program, you must be a student. (colleges, universities, masters programs, PhD programs ). You should be prepared, upon request, to provide Google with transcripts from your accredited institution as proof of enrollment or admission status. Computer Science does not need to be your field of study in order to participate in the program.
If you however miss the dates,its still an experience to spend the summer hols doing a project in your area of interest ,and build up for your final project.
