Below is more detailed information, but basically its like GSoC, except students are involved as part of their courses or industrial placements, so receive academic credit rather than money for their work. below, feel free to ask.

However, VALS differs from Summer of Code in that instead of receiving money for their participation, students will receive academic credit. For this reason the mentors from your project will need to liaise with the student's academic tutor. The VALS project will support this process to ensure it runs as smoothly as possible. We also ensure the admin overhead is minimal. and SMEs who have been working for several months to plan the pilot of Semester of Code, which will run during the next academic year. We have now reached the stage where we are signing up FOSS projects who are willing to provide mentors. We have already seen interest from smaller, single-company projects to larger software foundations, and would like to see more. we’d love to talk to you about joining Semester of Code. In return, you’ll get an enthusiastic student providing a valuable contribution to your project. The VALS team will be on hand throughout the project to answer any questions and help unblock communication issues between mentors, students and academic supervisors. you can email mark.johnson(a)it.ox.ac.uk, or you can sign up to our mailing list directly by using the web form [1].
