Summary
Potential Google Summer of Code students have begun speaking with developers on IRC and the mailing lists. There seems to be a lot of interest in hyperspectral, SAR, and astonomy algorithm projects. See IRC logs and mailing list archives for details.
Some students are having trouble accessing downloads on http://opticks.ballforge.net A mirror of the 4.3.3 windows installers (32-bit and 64-bit) as well as the 4.3.3 linux packages has been made available here until the issue can be resolved.

2010-03-22T11:07:38 <kstreith> Opticks was accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2010
2010-03-22T11:07:52 <kstreith> this means Google will pay students $5000 to work on a project for Opticks and release their code at the end of summer into the open-source
2010-03-22T11:08:02 <kstreith> we have already seen some interested students both on our mailing list and IRC chat channel the last couple of days
2010-03-22T11:08:13 <kstreith> they have been instructed to use these channels to discuss their proposals and their eventual work
2010-03-22T11:08:24 <kstreith> any student enrolled at a university is eligible
2010-03-22T11:09:35 <tclarke> the main interest so far is in algorithmic type projects
2010-03-22T11:09:44 <tclarke> specifically, hyperspectral, SAR, and astronomical processing extensions
2010-03-22T11:09:46 <kstreith> you can see our project page here: http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/org/show/google/gsoc2010/opticks
