The Summer of Code is Google's program designed to introduce students to the world of Open Source Software Development.

This Summer, don't let your programming skills lie fallow...Use them for the greater good of Open Source Software and computer science! Google will provide a $4500 award to each student who successfully completes an open source project by the end of the Summer.

Why doesn't Digit start something like this. Instead of having silly contests where prizes are won based on pure luck. developers can write open source projects and Digit can give away prizes.

No offence, but Digit isnt rich to give 4500 dollars as prize money ...
Besides, ppl here mostly are not programmers... only a hand few or a bunch of programmers are here.

Programmer ==> Elite and able to code according to the client's need.
