Google has just announced that SymPy has been accepted again as a
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) mentoring organization. See
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com for more information about GSoC.

Mentors, I will be sending you invites to the Google website soon. If
you haven't signed up to be a mentor but are interested let me know.
Anyone who is an existing contributor to SymPy can be a mentor.

Students, if you are interested in applying, start at
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2019-Student-Instructions.
Please make note of the patch requirement. All applications must be
accompanied with at least one merged pull request to SymPy. The
application period does not officially start until March 25, but it's
better to start now so that you don't run out of time.

The ideas page is at
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2019-Ideas. Please discuss
any project ideas that you are interested in with us.

         I went trough the student instruction page where one of the points states that "You will need to create an account on GitHub and submit at least one patch to SymPy along with your application."
         Does the patch require to be related to the project idea someone is interested in, or it could be a random pull request like a bug fix?

It does not need to be related to your project. It may help to try to
find a bug in the code related to your project, so that you can start
to familiarize yourself with it, but a pull request to any part of the
SymPy codebase will count for the requirement.

There is more information about the patch requirement in the
application template
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2019-Application-Template#patch-requirement.
I have added a bullet point clarifying that the patch does not need to
be related to your project.
