I am pleased to be participating with the Joomla! project in Google's Summer of Code 2008. My role during this summer is mentor for the JResearch Component by Luis Galárraga, a student in Ecuador studying Computer Engineering specializing in Multimedia Systems.

The Nerd within relishes in this great opportunity to get indepth knowledge about Joomla! and contribute to the community simultaneously. I plan to blog and share information about the summer adventure ahead **when my schedule allows**.
