software development and global pricing

By Martin English | April 16, 2007

I only noticed this because a regular read of mine uses WordPress. I quote from a Matt post on the WordPress blog:

Looking for something fun to do this summer? All college and university students around the world are invited to apply to get paid $4,500 USD to work on your favorite open source project this summer. WordPress is among the 131 accepted to Google Summer of Code, of more than 300 projects that applied

We have eight committed volunteers who are enthusiastic to mentor, learn, and make WordPress a little better in the process.

Check out our ideas for projects, or propose your own. You must apply
by March 24
. Good luck!

This is why we can’t pretend the rest of the world doesn’t exist; keeping wages and jobs in Australia is not about wage arbitrage but about the war for talent. Worldwide. There isn’t one rate for India. a different one for China, yet a third for Brazil, and so on
