Students, you can now submit your applications for GSoC on Google's
website (
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/). The application period
ends on March 25 (I couldn't find a time of day, if anyone knows the
exact deadline, please let us know). Google has historically been very
strict about the deadline, not extending it for anyone for any reason,
even if there are issues with their server. So submit your
applications early.
They process is a little different this year, so I'm not completely
sure how it works. You should be able to submit your proposals now and
edit them up until the deadline.
Also, SymPy has a patch requirement (you need to have at least one
pull request merged into SymPy). The March 25 deadline is also the
deadline for submitting this patch. If you have submitted your patch
but it hasn't been reviewed, please ping me or one of the other
mentors so that we can review it.
