FYI:

First the Nmap Project was once again accepted for the Google
Summer of Code program, so he will have full time coding help this
summer!  SoC previously brought them the Nmap Scripting Engine, Zenmap,
Ncat, 2nd generation OS detection, and great developers such as David
Fifield, Doug Hoyte, and Patrick Donnelly.  But one of their biggest
challenges is getting the word out.  They won't get great applicants if
they don't know about the program.  So if you know any college/grad
students (or are one) who might be interested, please point them to
http://nmap.org/soc/ ASAP.  They gain valuable experience writing code
used by millions of people and even earn a $5,000 stipend!  But the
application deadline is THIS FRIDAY at NOON U.S. Pacific Time (that is
19:00 UTC).  Our project ideas are listed at http://nmap.org/soc/.

(from http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?n&storyid=8593)

There's a survey for all Nmap users at http://nmap.org/survey/ also.
