I heard one of the coordinators speak about creating GSoC-like
programs at an open source conference last year. She had a lot of
great tips for landing one of the covet spots, like:
* Research what you want to do and apply early.
* Network with the organization that you want to work for. After the
organizations are posted, read descriptions of projects and
organizations. Email the specific people listed for more information.
* Look at the types of projects that were completed in the past or
that are posted to formulate your application.
* Plan to have no other commitments over the summer. They strongly
prefer people with no other work, research, or organizational
commitments.
* Don't be discouraged if you have never done open source development!
* Seek out organizations that have a track record for supporting and
encouraging women in CS, such as Systers.
Hope this helps!
