Announcing Google Summer of Code 2017 and Google Code-in 2016

[Stephanie]

Hello all,

We are pleased to announce Google Summer of Code 2017, the 13th straight year of the program.

The GSoC 2017 timeline has been updated with next year's important dates. More information including some changes to the Program Rules will be updated in early November on the program site.

Students -- Be sure to watch the program site in mid February when participating mentoring organizations are announced. At that point it is in your best interest to research the organizations that have projects ideas that intrigue you and reach out to them before the student application process even starts.

Organizations -- If you would like to apply for the 2017 program please start thinking about the 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.  

We are looking forward to another exciting year of GSoC!

Today we also announced the Google Code-in 2016 contest that will be open for past GSoC mentoring organizations to apply to be a part of this exciting contest bringing teenagers into the open source community from October 24th - November 7th.  GCI opens for student participants on November 28th!

For any questions about the programs please email us at gsoc-s...@google.com

Best,

Google OSPO team
