Google Summer of Code 2019 is on - 15 years of GSoC!

[Google Summer of Code Announce]

Hello all,

We are pleased to announce Google Summer of Code 2019, the 15th consecutive  year of the program.

We have announced the program and the timeline, marketing materials (slide deck, flyers), and FAQs are all available. And check out our short videos for students interested in knowing where to start with the program as well as some videos focused on Mentors and open source organizations looking to apply to be a part of GSoC.

Students -- Be sure read through the Student Guide in the next couple of months to understand the ins and out of the program - it is VERY helpful! And be sure to visit the program site February 26th when participating mentoring organizations are announced. At that point it is in your best interest to research the organizations that have project ideas that intrigue you and reach out to 3 or 4 of them early, before the student application process even starts. Communication is one of the most important parts of the program.

Organizations -- If you would like to apply for the 2019 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. And if you are a new organization applying to GSoC or a new potential Organization Administrator or Mentor please look through the Mentor Guide. Organization applications open January 15th.

We are looking forward to another exciting year of GSoC!

You'll also notice the 2018 program has now been archived.

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

Best,

Stephanie Taylor
