The project is aimed at encouraging growth in the OCaml community by funding students over the summer to work on open-source projects in OCaml. At the end of the summer, we will fly all of the students who have completed their projects succesfully out for a meeting in New York, where people will present their projects and get a chance to shmooze with other members of the OCaml community. The project is being funded and run by Jane Street Capital. As people on the list likely know at this point, we make extensive use of OCaml here at Jane Street, and are excited about the idea of encouraging and growing the OCaml community. If you'd like to learn more about the project, you can look at our website here: http://osp2007.janestcapital.com We'd love to have professors tell their students about the project, since we hope it will do some real good in terms of increasing interest in functional programming.
