Intern has a different aura to it, many students find GSoC to be an easier thing to try than an internship (plus, work from home!).

An "open summer of code" funded by Mozilla and other orgs themselves sounds like an interesting idea (one that's being informally bounced around on IRC in more than one place)

But yeah, I like that they're focusing on smaller projects.

Not just informally; X.org has actually implemented this idea: http://www.x.org/wiki/XorgEVoC/

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I was talking in a Mozilla-specific POV. Thanks for the link!

Mozilla has winter of security, which is basically GSoC for security related projects.
