| Sumario: | This article reports on computer programmers getting involved with open-source software communities on the Internet, distributed teams of volunteers who collaborate to build software that is then made freely available on the Internet. Google, the world's most popular search engine and one of the biggest proponents of open-source software, acted as a matchmaker and sponsor for 419 students to participate in open-source projects that would benefit the open-source community, and indirectly, Google, which uses a lot of open-source software. All of this is the idea of Chris DiBona, Google's open-source boss.
