Selection Process

[Maksim Shudrak]

Hey everyone,

Some of you are interested of getting feedback on why certain proposals were not accepted. While we can not share exact details of each proposal, I can briefly describe selection process that we used. 

Basically, we had two rounds of proposals review and 5 mentors who ranked each application. On the first round each mentor was assigned 10-12 applications from which they selected 2-3 best applications making top 12. On the second round, each of us ranked 12 applications and selected top 5. Then, we aggregated results from each mentor and made final top 5 applications. Out of those 5, GSoC 2023 organizers selected 3.

We used the following criteria to rank applications:

1. Application Quality

2. GCP Scanner Contribution Impact

3. Whether candidate is available full-time this summer

4. Previous open-source experience

5. Academic studies, previous work experience, internships

First 2 were the most important for our decision making. 

Like I said in the previous email, do not feel discouraged by not being selected this year. We had a lot of very good applications and it was quite hard to choose the best of them.

Wow, thanks for putting the effort and being so much transparent.
