Best of all, more source code is created and released for the use and benefit of all.<br /> <br /> For the past ten days, interested students have had the opportunity to review the ideas pages for this year’s 180 <a href="http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2012">accepted projects</a> and research which projects they would like to contribute to this year. We hope all interested students will apply! Submit your proposal to the mentoring organizations via the Google Summer of Code <a href="http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/program/home/google/gsoc2012">program website</a> from today through Friday, April 6 at 19:00 UTC.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgptxuHm2KYjyn9SIucWhzQgb1uByrc368QsSI22_VwUgPS1mku_69cQ9ZhVR_djrr5p0ETGDkQdrxRY50ZKWQyhuk5EgRF9gzB20rC3hUCCagKJIA6cbV1otY8yYMlFeemPO6X/s1600/1ndA27OLPswZG2rsh2KlK8T22NYi4Rag.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgptxuHm2KYjyn9SIucWhzQgb1uByrc368QsSI22_VwUgPS1mku_69cQ9ZhVR_djrr5p0ETGDkQdrxRY50ZKWQyhuk5EgRF9gzB20rC3hUCCagKJIA6cbV1otY8yYMlFeemPO6X/s400/1ndA27OLPswZG2rsh2KlK8T22NYi4Rag.png" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> Google Summer of Code is a highly competitive program with a limited number of spots. Students should consult the Google Summer of Code <a href="http://www.booki.cc/gsocstudentguide/">student manual</a> for suggestions on how to write a quality <a href="http://www.booki.cc/gsocstudentguide/proposal-examples/">proposal</a> that will grab the attention of the mentoring organizations. Multiple proposals are allowed but we highly recommend focusing on quality over quantity. The mentoring organizations have many proposals to review, so it is important to follow each organization’s specific guidelines or templates and we advise you to submit your proposal early so you can receive timely feedback.<br /> <br /> For more tips, see a list of some <a href="http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2011/03/dos-and-donts-of-google-summer-of-code.html">helpful dos and don’ts</a> for successful student participation written by a group of experienced Google Summer of Code administrators, our <a href="http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2012/userguide">user’s guide</a> for the program site, <a href="http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2012/faqs">Frequently Asked Questions</a> and <a href="http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2012">timeline</a>.

Summer of Code offers students developers all over the world the chance to get paid to write code for open source projects as an alternative to a summer job.<br /><br />Kicked off in 2005, the Summer of Code has brought together more than 3,400 students with more than 200 open source projects from all over the world to create millions of lines of code. We work with several open source, free software and technology-related groups to identify and fund projects through three months of coding.<br /><br />There was some really awesome work done by more than 1,000 students from 69 countries in this year’s Summer of Code. Of those students, 6.5 percent were women representing 23 countries—six times higher than the estimated proportion of women in the open source community. Here are just a few of the women:<br /><br /><b>25 reference manuals in her purse </b><br />Ann Marie Horcher, an information systems security Ph.D. candidate at Nova Southeastern University was mentored by <a href="http://docbook.org/">Docbook.org</a>. Ann Marie worked over the summer to create an application that transformed a docbook file to epub format used in ebook readers such as the Amazon Kindle, the Barnes and Noble Nook and the iPad. As a result of Ann Marie’s project, it’s now easier to move technical documentation to a portable format so she “can carry my 25 reference manuals for my project with me in my purse.” And now, so can everyone else.<br /><br />Check out Ann Marie’s YouTube video illustrating her work and its results <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9jwHe4FAZk">here</a>.<br /><br /><b>Geophylogenies now displayed on Google Earth</b><br />Kathryn Iverson, a University of Michigan bioinformatics graduate student was mentored by <a href="http://www.nescent.org/">National Evolutionary Biology Synthesis Center</a> and wrote a library implemented in Java with KML to build geophylogenies—geographical evolutionary histories of organisms. She told us: "Since I was starting from scratch it was up to me to decide in what direction I should move the project and make decisions about everything from what input filetypes to support to the color and size of the geophylogenies when they are displayed in Google Earth."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu8jUP65jqsaT_MY09XghvDBQ5glYROFcPWFMOt3Q9jLWYgMS0qnXVoxvuzC2t1eF0HaCe0VLWwQybSyK4uhyzAn-fCB65lvXtUP00AvMlZHHB1hiweyqJQj3daLPI36xn8-Oq/s1600/iverson_kathryn.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509445443848626626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu8jUP65jqsaT_MY09XghvDBQ5glYROFcPWFMOt3Q9jLWYgMS0qnXVoxvuzC2t1eF0HaCe0VLWwQybSyK4uhyzAn-fCB65lvXtUP00AvMlZHHB1hiweyqJQj3daLPI36xn8-Oq/s400/iverson_kathryn.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 375px;" /></a><br />When asked about her key takeaways, she said, "Working remotely required me to be clear and verbose about what I needed because with the time difference (my mentor was on the other side of the globe), I may not get a response until the next day, which can slow down work tremendously if you're not clear in asking your questions."<br /><br /><b>Bridesmaid brings word tag clouds to biological networks</b><br />Layla Oesper, a Brown University computer science Ph.D. candidate mentored by <a href="http://www.cytoscape.org/">Cytoscape</a>, was attracted to Summer of Code because she was looking for a summer job that would give her the flexibility to work and still participate in two weddings. Layla built a plugin for Cytoscape that would allow people to create word tag clouds from biological networks they’d already created in Cytoscape, giving users a visual semantic summary of a biological network. The final product has all sorts of configurable features, including the ability to cluster together words that appear near each other in the original network in the order in which the words appear.<br /><br />Check out what Layla learned during her Summer of Code experience on <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CSSfX4NPvI">YouTube</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Drupal gets more content management friendly</span><br />Emily Brand, a computer science graduate student from Loyola University Chicago, was mentored by <a href="http://drupal.org/">Drupal.org</a>, an open source content management platform. During her summer, she worked on <a href="http://drupal.org/project/querypath">QueryPath</a>—an essential part of the Drupal and PHP communities. Her goal was to keep and increase Drupal’s popularity by making it a go-to content management system for websites focused on web services using PHP.<br /><br />Emily says she learned “how to effectively work on an open source project while keeping and improving the users and developers requirements as well as how to effectively integrate web services in Drupal.”<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqRNPTMIcGSh9TuDcspnl1v0KTRUvfcqs45JoWZApEUCF4MVsAZ7l31h0C70SmwLVlTEQOb1mOaHBRcmdf2M_vacwrKHoM12ewNXf2r-pCrf5AXUAQV7CAIjeewbE_T9F0JzMY/s1600/me.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509445431362757970" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqRNPTMIcGSh9TuDcspnl1v0KTRUvfcqs45JoWZApEUCF4MVsAZ7l31h0C70SmwLVlTEQOb1mOaHBRcmdf2M_vacwrKHoM12ewNXf2r-pCrf5AXUAQV7CAIjeewbE_T9F0JzMY/s400/me.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br />You can find out more about this year’s program and projects on the <a href="http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2010/08/our-6th-google-summer-of-code-has-come.html">Open Source Blog</a>, and if you’re in college looking to write some open source code, we hope we’ll see you next summer.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Carol Smith, Open Source Programs Manager</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> Our sixth annual Google Summer of Code <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/">program</a> has wrapped up and we want to highlight some of this year’s amazing participants and projects.

She told us: "Since I was starting from scratch it was up to me to decide in what direction I should move the project and make decisions about everything from what input filetypes to support to the color and size of the geophylogenies when they are displayed in Google Earth."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu8jUP65jqsaT_MY09XghvDBQ5glYROFcPWFMOt3Q9jLWYgMS0qnXVoxvuzC2t1eF0HaCe0VLWwQybSyK4uhyzAn-fCB65lvXtUP00AvMlZHHB1hiweyqJQj3daLPI36xn8-Oq/s1600/iverson_kathryn.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509445443848626626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu8jUP65jqsaT_MY09XghvDBQ5glYROFcPWFMOt3Q9jLWYgMS0qnXVoxvuzC2t1eF0HaCe0VLWwQybSyK4uhyzAn-fCB65lvXtUP00AvMlZHHB1hiweyqJQj3daLPI36xn8-Oq/s400/iverson_kathryn.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 375px;" /></a><br />When asked about her key takeaways, she said, "Working remotely required me to be clear and verbose about what I needed because with the time difference (my mentor was on the other side of the globe), I may not get a response until the next day, which can slow down work tremendously if you're not clear in asking your questions."<br /><br /><b>Bridesmaid brings word tag clouds to biological networks</b><br />Layla Oesper, a Brown University computer science Ph.D. candidate mentored by <a href="http://www.cytoscape.org/">Cytoscape</a>, was attracted to Summer of Code because she was looking for a summer job that would give her the flexibility to work and still participate in two weddings. Layla built a plugin for Cytoscape that would allow people to create word tag clouds from biological networks they’d already created in Cytoscape, giving users a visual semantic summary of a biological network. The final product has all sorts of configurable features, including the ability to cluster together words that appear near each other in the original network in the order in which the words appear.<br /><br />Check out what Layla learned during her Summer of Code experience on <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CSSfX4NPvI">YouTube</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Drupal gets more content management friendly</span><br />Emily Brand, a computer science graduate student from Loyola University Chicago, was mentored by <a href="http://drupal.org/">Drupal.org</a>, an open source content management platform. During her summer, she worked on <a href="http://drupal.org/project/querypath">QueryPath</a>—an essential part of the Drupal and PHP communities. Her goal was to keep and increase Drupal’s popularity by making it a go-to content management system for websites focused on web services using PHP.<br /><br />Emily says she learned “how to effectively work on an open source project while keeping and improving the users and developers requirements as well as how to effectively integrate web services in Drupal.”<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqRNPTMIcGSh9TuDcspnl1v0KTRUvfcqs45JoWZApEUCF4MVsAZ7l31h0C70SmwLVlTEQOb1mOaHBRcmdf2M_vacwrKHoM12ewNXf2r-pCrf5AXUAQV7CAIjeewbE_T9F0JzMY/s1600/me.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509445431362757970" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqRNPTMIcGSh9TuDcspnl1v0KTRUvfcqs45JoWZApEUCF4MVsAZ7l31h0C70SmwLVlTEQOb1mOaHBRcmdf2M_vacwrKHoM12ewNXf2r-pCrf5AXUAQV7CAIjeewbE_T9F0JzMY/s400/me.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br />You can find out more about this year’s program and projects on the <a href="http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2010/08/our-6th-google-summer-of-code-has-come.html">Open Source Blog</a>, and if you’re in college looking to write some open source code, we hope we’ll see you next summer.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Carol Smith, Open Source Programs Manager</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/sixth-annual-summer-of-code-flexes-some.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Blog:Sixth annual Summer of Code flexes some serious geek girl muscle&url=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/sixth-annual-summer-of-code-flexes-some.html&via=google'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/sixth-annual-summer-of-code-flexes-some.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/sixth-annual-summer-of-code-flexes-some.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/diversity' rel='tag'> diversity </a> , <a class='label' href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/open%20source' rel='tag'> open source </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='9101786551733629726' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/releasing-chromium-os-open-source.html' itemprop='url' title='Releasing the Chromium OS open source project'> Releasing the Chromium OS open source project </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> November 19, 2009 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> In July we <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/introducing-google-chrome-os.html">announced</a> that we were working on Google Chrome OS, an open source operating system for people who spend most of their time on the web.<br /><br />Today we are open-sourcing the project as Chromium OS. We are doing this early, a year before Google Chrome OS will be ready for users, because we are eager to engage with partners, the open source community and developers. As with the Google Chrome browser, development will be done in the open from this point on. This means the code is free, accessible to anyone and open for contributions. The Chromium OS project includes our current <a href="http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/building-chromium-os/getting-the-chromium-os-source-code">code base</a>, <a href="http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/user-experience">user interface experiments</a> and some initial <a href="http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs">designs</a> for ongoing development. This is the initial sketch and we will color it in over the course of the next year.<br /><br />We want to take this opportunity to explain why we're excited about the project and how it is a fundamentally different model of computing.<br /><br />First, it's all about the web. All apps are web apps. The entire experience takes place within the browser and there are no conventional desktop applications. This means users do not have to deal with installing, managing and updating programs.<br /><br />Second, because all apps live within the browser, there are significant benefits to security. Unlike traditional operating systems, Chrome OS doesn't trust the applications you run. Each app is contained within a security sandbox making it harder for malware and viruses to infect your computer. Furthermore, Chrome OS barely trusts itself. Every time you restart your computer the operating system verifies the integrity of its code. If your system has been compromised, it is designed to fix itself with a reboot. While no computer can be made completely secure, we're going to make life much harder (and less profitable) for the bad guys. If you dig security, read the <a href="http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/security-overview">Chrome OS Security Overview</a> or <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9WVmNfgjtQ">watch the video</a>.<br /><br />Most of all, we are obsessed with speed. We are taking out every unnecessary process, optimizing many operations and running everything possible in parallel. This means you can go from turning on the computer to surfing the web in a few seconds. Our obsession with speed goes all the way down to the metal. We are specifying reference hardware components to create the fastest experience for Google Chrome OS.<br /><br />There is still a lot of work to do, and we're excited to work with the open source community. We have benefited hugely from projects like GNU, the Linux Kernel, Moblin, Ubuntu, WebKit and many more. We will be contributing our code upstream and engaging closely with these and other open source efforts.<br /><br />Google Chrome OS will be ready for consumers this time next year.

Finally, our sincerest thanks to all of our mentors for volunteering their time and expertise to help these students more actively engage with open source development.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT4DjSTnYfkRM6dEz-9i3SQxg0Q2h33Imu6E_iaKjkqigx1f9zkl0bsws1vKGJd_S80qevKtdW66KYAmaBnvZau19ogxe4gzMLNNwSiW6F8m4KtaPqkpGMuhg4pf454j3GytMDFg/s1600-h/soc.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374350985593503762" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT4DjSTnYfkRM6dEz-9i3SQxg0Q2h33Imu6E_iaKjkqigx1f9zkl0bsws1vKGJd_S80qevKtdW66KYAmaBnvZau19ogxe4gzMLNNwSiW6F8m4KtaPqkpGMuhg4pf454j3GytMDFg/s400/soc.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Leslie Hawthorn, Program Manager, Open Source Team</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/five-years-of-introducing-students-to.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Blog:Five years of introducing students to open source&url=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/five-years-of-introducing-students-to.html&via=google'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/five-years-of-introducing-students-to.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/five-years-of-introducing-students-to.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/education%20and%20research' rel='tag'> education and research </a> , <a class='label' href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/open%20source' rel='tag'> open source </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='6482698176620158825' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/growing-open-government-with.html' itemprop='url' title='Growing open government with Transparency Camp West'> Growing open government with Transparency Camp West </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> August 14, 2009 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >(If you're interested in meeting the team of Googlers working to strengthen the public sector and civic engagement through technology, check out our <a href="http://googlepublicsector.blogspot.com/2009/08/hello-world.html">Public Sector blog</a>. -Ed.</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">)</span></span><br /><br />Organizing public sector information isn't easy, and companies like Google rely on the good work of open government advocates to access useful data.

Over the past four years, we've paired nearly 2,500 "graduates" with more than 2,500 mentors from industry to academia, with some spectacular results: millions of lines of source code produced and over $15M in funding provided to open source development. This year student participants have more than <a href="http://socghop.appspot.com/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2009">150 open source software and technology–related projects</a> to choose from when submitting their applications, from operating systems to content management systems.<br /><br />During the <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/2008/">2008 program</a>, we had more than 975 students successfully complete their projects. Each participant received a $4,500 stipend and an ultra-awesome t-shirt to go along with their newly honed programming skills. We're particularly excited by the social ties our students form through the course of the program, as well. We've connected people in more than 98 countries, and hope to bring people from even more places into the Google Summer of Code community this year.<br /><br />We'll be accepting student applications through April 3, 2009 at 12:00 pm PST.

This marks an important milestone in the young history of Android. It was less than a year ago, on November 5, that the Open Handset Alliance, a group of more than 30 technology and mobile companies, <a href="http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/press_110507.html" id="bh8f" title="announced plans">announced plans</a> to create a complete mobile platform that would facilitate the development of advanced mobile applications and give users the best the web has to offer on a mobile device.<br /><br />Software developers are key to driving innovation on the web, and also for mobile. That's why, over the past year, we've released several early versions of the Software Developer Kit (SDK) and worked with developers from around the world to make it better and more complete. This has culminated in today's release of the Android 1.0 SDK R1. Through the SDK, developers have unprecedented access to the hardware and software capabilities of the device, enabling them to innovate freely. More than 1,700 applications were developed as part of the <a title="Android Developer Challenge" href="http://code.google.com/android/adc.html" id="atcv">Android Developer Challenge</a>. Google engineers have also been busy developing Android applications. Many of our products (Search, Gmail, and Maps, among others) are available on a wide range of phones such as the iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile devices, and many more. Today, they're also available on Android, and you can check out the <a href="http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2008/09/google-on-android.html" id="rz5x" title="Google Mobile blog">Google Mobile blog</a> for more details.<br /><br />But there's more to the Android story. Not only does it allow all applications open access to the phone's functionality; the platform itself will also be open. The Open Handset Alliance has announced its intention to open source the entire Android platform by the end of the year. Along with the other members of the Alliance, we hope that Android can provide a meaningful contribution to all players in the mobile ecosystem: the developers, the wireless carriers, the handset manufacturers, etc. Everyone will be free to adopt and adapt the technology as they see fit.

This marks an important milestone in the young history of Android. It was less than a year ago, on November 5, that the Open Handset Alliance, a group of more than 30 technology and mobile companies, <a href="http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/press_110507.html" id="bh8f" title="announced plans">announced plans</a> to create a complete mobile platform that would facilitate the development of advanced mobile applications and give users the best the web has to offer on a mobile device.<br /><br />Software developers are key to driving innovation on the web, and also for mobile. That's why, over the past year, we've released several early versions of the Software Developer Kit (SDK) and worked with developers from around the world to make it better and more complete. This has culminated in today's release of the Android 1.0 SDK R1. Through the SDK, developers have unprecedented access to the hardware and software capabilities of the device, enabling them to innovate freely. More than 1,700 applications were developed as part of the <a title="Android Developer Challenge" href="http://code.google.com/android/adc.html" id="atcv">Android Developer Challenge</a>. Google engineers have also been busy developing Android applications. Many of our products (Search, Gmail, and Maps, among others) are available on a wide range of phones such as the iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile devices, and many more. Today, they're also available on Android, and you can check out the <a href="http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2008/09/google-on-android.html" id="rz5x" title="Google Mobile blog">Google Mobile blog</a> for more details.<br /><br />But there's more to the Android story. Not only does it allow all applications open access to the phone's functionality; the platform itself will also be open. The Open Handset Alliance has announced its intention to open source the entire Android platform by the end of the year. Along with the other members of the Alliance, we hope that Android can provide a meaningful contribution to all players in the mobile ecosystem: the developers, the wireless carriers, the handset manufacturers, etc. Everyone will be free to adopt and adapt the technology as they see fit. By doing so, we hope that users will get better, more capable phones with powerful web browsers and access to a rich catalogue of innovative mobile applications.<br /><br />Developers will soon be able to distribute their applications to real handsets through the beta version of <a href="http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2008/08/android-market-user-driven-content.html" id="bqwf" title="Android Market (beta)">Android Market</a>.
