The call for submissions for Google Summer of Code 2008 has closed and I’m happy to announce that four students will be working on projects for Creative Commons this summer. In no particular order, they are:

• CC Logger (statistical log analysis), by Ankit Guglani, mentored by Asheesh Laroia
• RDFa Support for Semantic MediaWiki, by David McCabe, mentored by Nathan Kinkade
• License-oriented metadata validator and viewer, by Hugo Dworak, mentored by Nathan R. Yergler
• Creative Commons/Flickr Image Re-Use for OpenOffice.org, by Husleag Mihai, mentored by Nathan R. Yergler

Welcome to all; we’re looking forward to a productive, geeky summer.
