Education.

From my experience, just trying to combine technology and teaching isn't good enough. We need something better than what we have now.

One: Why does it seem all the text is in caps?

Two: Why would we want a engine with Maya or 3DStudioMax interoperability? Most indie developers would not be able to afford Autodesk products because they are so pricey. The only people I know who use Autodesk in the gaming industry are those who make AAA games. If you want to contact the least common denominator, then you need to make some changes to the way you do things.

This may be what you are looking for: http://cylonjs.com/

It's a javascript framework for robotics.

I third Haxe. From what I've read and done in it, it is a extremely nice language to work within. I just wish it had a bit more tutorials for people to learn from.

Perhaps later in life.

I see that there is no HTTPS on the website. You may want to fix this if you want this to be safe to use on a day to day basis.

It's suggested that the most optimal profile are people under 35, but I don't think people over that age are automatically disqualified. It's just that the majority profile they are looking for contains males who are under 35.

How would you go about finding a concept to build a app around? You don't want to end up building a so-called "sitcom" app which no one uses.

From the site:

Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers post-secondary student developers ages 18 and older stipends to write code for various open source software projects.

If these are still available, could I get one? ETA: Disregard this post.

May I get one?

Agreed. This sounds like a fun thing to do when you have some spare time or are bored.

I use Gentoo.

I like the level of customization it gives you, plus I ( this may be subjective) find it way more stable then Arch. I love the Portage package manager, and the low memory footprint (besides compiling).
