Chris DiBona session at Summer of Code, Wellington, New Zealand

, posted: 26-Jan-2007 10:49

When our friends Peter Smith (letuseit.co.nz) and the folks at Creative HQ asked us here at Geekzone if we could sponsor one of the Summer of Code sessions with Chris DiBona, we jumped at the opportunity straightaway.

Chris DiBona (wikipedia entry for Chris DiBona) is the guest speaker at the special session Geekzone is sponsoring. Chris is the open source program manager at Google (Mountain View, CA). Prior to joining Google he was an editor at Slashdot.


The Summer of Code is a programme to help students gain real world experience by helping start-up companies build new technologies. The Creative HQ Summer of Code students are working on research projects for the participating technology based companies over their summer break, November 2006 till the end of February 2007.

The session is on 7th February, 11.30am through 1pm, Victoria University on the Old Government Buildings, LT3 (Wellington). More information at the official Summer of Code Blog.
