Google Summer of Code organization applications open Jan 29-Feb 19

[Nicholas Jankowski]

GSOC org applications open in a month. Worth remembering that this year they’ve changed the program to shorter duration projects (maybe half the notional size/workload as previous years). Was peeking at the linked Project Ideas list, and the “Infrastructure project” section seemed interesting. Pkg infrastructure is close, but the other infrastructure ones on our list are more side projects rather than “work that helps other work done”.

Happy new year everyone!

Just a quick reminder that if your org would like to apply for the 2021 GSoC program please start thinking about the ~175 hr projects you would like students to work on and also reach out to your community members to ask if they would like to be mentors for the program. Having a thorough and well thought out list of Project Ideas is the most important part of your application.

We realize many of you have project ideas from a previous GSoC Ideas List based on a 350 hour size project, please look at ways to either break the project into smaller chunks or consider completely new project ideas that will be ~175 hours for students to work on over the summer.

You can check out the 2021 GSoC Org Application Questions if you’d like to start preparing your responses in advance so you can copy over your answers once the org applications open Jan 29 - Feb 19 at g.co/gsoc - there are a few new questions this year.

Please encourage other open source orgs to apply -- if you know of other open source projects that may be interested in applying to GSoC as a first time org please remind them to check out the available resources below and have them put your org (or you) down as a reference.

Open source projects can apply to be mentoring organizations from January 29th - February 19th at 1900 UTC.
