SymPy has once again been accepted into Google Summer of Code (GSoC).
Students who are interested in applying, start with our student
instructions https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-Student-Instructions.
You should look over our ideas list and discuss any ideas you are
interested in with us.

Mentors, if you haven't already, please add yourself to the list at
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-Ideas#potential-mentors so I
can add you on the Google site. Also, please feel free to update the
ideas page if you see something is missing or out of date.

A reminder that this year, the number of hours expected from GSoC has
been reduced to 175 hours over the summer (previously it was 350
hours). Please take this into consideration when writing and reviewing
proposals.

I look forward to working with you all and having another productive
year for GSoC.

Hope for your reply.

I couldn't find a better place so I will ask here - 

Regarding the reduction to 175 hours over the summer, but the total weeks remaining almost the same (10 now from 12 last year), would it be possible for a student to propose working for 35-40 hours over 5 weeks, rather than working for ~18 hours over 10 weeks? Also in this case, if possible, what would the two evaluations entail? The first evaluation in GSoC 2021 is 5 weeks into the coding period, so the student will actually have finished their project by this time. Would there be only 1 evaluation in that case, or would only half the work be submitted?

Thanks and Regards,
Sidharth (0sidharth)

From https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/evaluations

"For 2021, we have added more flexibility into the scheduling of
student's work - they have 10 weeks to complete their 175 hour
project. This means students can work on their project an average of
17.5 hours each week of the 10 week program or they can work more
hours certain weeks and then have some days/ weeks off as their
exams/personal commitments occur. The main point to consider is that
the mentor and student need to discuss the planned breaks and
expectations early on - during the community bonding period to make
sure they are on the same page.

"While there is more flexibility for scheduling for 2021, the first
and final evaluation deadlines remain the same and can not be changed.
What this essentially means is that students will be expected to
complete 40-50% of their project by the first evaluation which is the
halfway point of the program (at the end of 5 weeks of coding) if they
want to pass their evaluation. Also if a student completes their
project 6 weeks into the 10 week GSoC 2021 program, that's great, but
they still have to log back into their GSoC dashboard during the final
evaluation period (week 10) to submit their final evaluation and work
product URL in order to pass the program."
