Organization participation

[Dionisis Gournas]

Dear all,

I would like to ask you if it is necessary for the participating organizations to be running an ongoing open-source software. If the company has run open-source software in the past is it ok?

Thank you in advance!

[Joel Sherrill]

I am not a Google employee and thus this is not an official answer but...

"open-source software in the past" implies that there is no currently active project

for a student to participate in.

Active free and open source projects are eligible to participate. Based on 

previous responses, GSoC is not the vehicle to start a new project.

Joel's answer is correct. You must have an active open source project.

- Google Code-in, our contest introducing 13-17 year old pre-university students to open source development, runs from November 28, 2017 - January 17, 2018. Please visit the contest site at g.co/gci for more information.
