Its a program run and sponsored by Google where college students work with Opensource organisations over the summer, and get a stipend for the work.

I'll be working with VideoLAN on improving their HTTP interface (The one used by various VLC mobile control applications)

(A description in Google's words: Student applications now being accepted for Google Summer of Code - Google Open Source Blog )

btw, anyone on TE in the 13-18 age group and going to school??

Google has a similar program for them too (on a smaller scale) called Google Code In
 
That's pretty cool, congrats. I actually use VLC Remote on my tablet, that makes use of VLC's HTTP interface to control the player. Pretty interesting, but at its nascent stages.
 
Akash:

Thank you for the nice explanation. Great learning experience this will be. Happy coding/development.
